But the Catholic Church of the Christian Presbyterian Church in Nitin, built in 1862, is the first church in New Zealand. It was designed and supervised by a famous architect and pious Christian Robert Arthur Lawson. The church adopts Gothic style and uses a large number of minarets as decoration. The tower of the church resembles a crown. The main tower is 55 meters high and occupies the skyline around the square. The center can be seen at a glance.
