The Rose Historic Chapel, Christchurch
|
The Rose Historic Chapel, formerly known as the St Mary's Convent Chapel, is a heritage-listed stone church building located in Colombo Street in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is registered as a "Historic Place - Category II " by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The building was designed in the Gothic Revival style and erected in 1910. While the convent buildings were sadly demolished in 1994, the chapel was purchased by the Christchurch City Council in order to ensure its retention. Together with the Rose Historic Chapel Trust and Friends of the Chapel, the Council has undertaken conservation and restoration of this building for its new use as a community facility catering specifically for intimate weddings, meetings, seminars and concerts. The Chapel has been badly damaged in the magnitude 6.3 earthquake that hit Christchurch 22 February 2011.
