cathedral of the most holy trinity (bermuda cathedral)

ProfessorOT

The Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is a beautiful church. We visited the church during our walking tour of Hamilton. We loved the stain glass window, especially the St. Francis of Assisi panel. A very serene and peaceful visit!

This building is not the most architecturally unique etc. The fascination with this building is its sheer age. With the surrounding cemetary having tombs of 200-300 years old and still in "Fair" condition its a site to see. This is located very near the main area of Hamilton and definitely worth walking into. Again the building has a lot of native cedar and due to its age has the most amazing smell. Staff were very friendly and chatty. There are many of these churches on the island and i felt that well all of them were beautiful in the sheer fact of their age they werent the most impressive churches i've ever seen (Berlin, Munich etc) with that being said i always enjoy discovering them and seeing what is the norm in every country i go to. This church didnt disappoint and no charge for admission.

A wonderful piece of mock Early English Architecture in the heart of Hamilton. We attended a Sunday Morning Service and were made most welcome.The congregation were very friendly.Sunday in Hamilton felt like the Day of Rest that we have given up to commerce.

Even if you have no religious beliefs it is nice to take a few minutes out to visit this lovely building and enjoy it's peace and calm

The Anglican church has exported its particular style of churches to much of the English-speaking world. This is a particularly imposing example on this small (but extremely interesting) island. The exterior dominates the Hamilton skyline; the cool interior is well worth exploring. As always, the memorials tell stories which repay reading. The reredos is especially interesting, contrasting as it does with the strong colours of the stained glass windows behind it.

The islands enjoy lots of churches and well reserved.There is a long street called Church Street because it has at least 6 churches.

It is a bright and cheery cathedral, the staff we met were very friendly and we left with a welcome feeling. It is a hill up from the main part of town which is deceptive and in the heat and humidity you might wish you had taken it more slowly - across the road is a supermarket where you can get a drink - but then you sit peacefully in a pew and see the sun coming through the glass windows and the walk is worth it. I might have liked some more information, but then this is primarily a place of worship and not an attraction.

Cathedral was worth the quick visit to see this pretty and interesting church. Had beautiful alter and baptismal font. The building itself is very imposing and can be seen from many points.

We walked a few blocks from the ferry terminal up to the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, and we were not disappointed! The quiet and peaceful church is quite lovely- the stained glass windows, wood pews, and altar are simply gorgeous. For a small $3 fee (which we did not pay) you can climb the 150 or so stairs to the top of the tower for what I hear is an impressive view. We will have to catch that on our next trip! :)

This Is just a georgeous piece of history. If you can possibly go when they are opened its such a must must see...

Wow! It's amazing that a building like this exists on this small island. I was disappointed that there wasn't a guild or volunteer to ask questions of, and the little gift shop wasn't open on Saturday morning. But, that's nothing when you take in the beauty of this holy place.

I popped in here whilst making my way through town. It was unexpectedly quiet with just one other person, so an opportunity for a quick prayer. It is a beautiful cathedral, cared-for and accessible to the public. I didn't see anywhere for donations which could be something worth pursuing perhaps, unlike cathedrals in the UK.

A lovely diversion from the city streets - the church is rather spectacular for where it is. The setting is peaceful and beautiful with gorgeous stained glass windows and all the other trappings of a cathedral located any where else in the world. It is just a few blocks off the main tourist area of Front Street and very easy to find. Certainly worth going through.

I went here twice last week: once to see the interior and next to climb the 155 steps to the tower. Even though I have a bit of claustrophobia, I determined to make the trip! The first 90 or so steps are in a tight spiral stairwell. I went first; my friend followed. A landing gave both of us time to catch our breath before proceeding up the last staircases. What a view! The gift shop in the sanctuary had some pretty cards and other souvenirs for purchase. The church is free; the tower is $3.

The 140 foot Cathedral tower is visible all over Hamilton and offers a birds eye view of the pastel painted town. The weathered grey stone building is a few blocks of uphill walking from the port and stands proud over the landscape. The Gothic structure wasn't completed until 1991. The altar screen depicts all of the saints that the island's churches are named after. It's cool inside - quiet and peaceful in comparison to the busy shopping streets just outside. You don't need much time here - maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Admission to the church is free; the climb to the top of the tower costs something like three dollars. Enjoy
