St Francis Xavier Cathedral的点评

2026年06月12日发布于: 海外

点评：The cathedral dates to 1851 with construction based on a plan by local architect Richard Lambeth. However it was discovered that his plan was largely based on the original more ambitious plan by prominent English architect Charles Hansom, i.e. plagiarised. Work ceased on construction, the Victorian gold rush attracted many of the construction workers, and construction did not resume until 1856 to a revised plan by Hansom that incorporated the foundations already laid. Although incomplete, the building was consecrated in 1858. Work continued in various stages and as funding became available. A third foundation stone was laid in 1923 for the expansion of the building including construction of the bell tower. The work was completed in 1926 but in 1981 it was decided that the tower be replaced by a grander version more in line with the earlier ambitious design. Construction did not commence until 1994 but was completed in 1996 and the cathedral considered to be finally finished. It was re-consecrated on 11th July, 145 years after the initial foundations were installed. The design is classified as being a Gothic Revival building in the Early English style. Really impressed by the quality of the stonework, particularly the interior columns, entry porch and stained-glass windows surrounds. The Rose Window above the choir loft is quite spectacular.

翻译：这座大教堂始建于1851年，由当地建筑师理查德·兰贝斯（Richard Lambeth）设计建造。然而，后来发现他的设计很大程度上借鉴了英国著名建筑师查尔斯·汉森（Charles Hansom）更为宏伟的原始方案，即抄袭。工程被迫停工，维多利亚时代的淘金热吸引了大量建筑工人，直到1856年才根据汉森修改后的设计方案复工，该方案整合了已建成的地基。尽管尚未完工，教堂还是在1858年举行了祝圣仪式。此后，工程断断续续地进行，资金也陆续到位。1923年，教堂举行了第三块奠基石的铺设，用于扩建，包括建造钟楼。扩建工程于1926年竣工，但到了1981年，人们决定用一座更宏伟、更符合早期宏伟设计方案的钟楼来取代它。新钟楼的建造工程直到1994年才开始，并于1996年竣工，大教堂也因此被认为最终完工。教堂于7月11日重新举行了祝圣仪式，距最初的奠基已过去了145年。其设计风格被归类为早期英国哥特复兴式建筑。石雕工艺精湛，令人印象深刻，尤其是内部的立柱、入口门廊和彩色玻璃窗周围的装饰。唱诗班席位上方的玫瑰窗更是壮观无比。
