St. Michael's Church is a Catholic church located in Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand. It's a special building because it's listed as a heritage site. This means it's an important old building that is protected for its history.
The church was finished in 1933. On April 2, 1985, Heritage New Zealand officially listed it as a Category I building. This is the highest level of heritage protection.
The Church's History
The church was designed by two architects named George Tole and Horace Massey. They created the plans for this beautiful building.
St. Michael's Church first opened its doors in 1933. In the same year, it won a big award called the NZIA Gold Medal. This medal is given to buildings that have excellent design and architecture.
The church also runs a school nearby. It's called St Michael's Catholic School. This school is a primary school, which means it teaches younger students. It was started in 1916, even before the church building was finished.
