"The striking neo-Gothic St. Andrew’s Cathedral, just behind the Padang on a generous plot of land, was built by convict labor from India, with the first service held in 1861. It was the second incarnation of this Anglican church (the first was built in the 1830s and boasted a bell from Paul Revere’s foundry in Boston ). The bright-white exteriors of St. Andrew’s come from its finish of Madras chunam, a plaster made from a mixture of egg whites, shell lime, and sugar. Don’t leave until you see the three magnificent stained-glass windows in the apse, one of which is dedicated to Stamford Raffles."

23 Best Things to Do When You're in Singapore | Condé Nast Traveler

"You can't miss this giant, wedding-cake-like monument in the middle of Singapore's Civic District—it's one of the oldest buildings in the area and perhaps the most imposing, with its Neo Gothic design topped with a minimalist spire. Park grounds surround the structure so it stands out as a sanctuary in the midst of a busy urban area. This is Singapore's largest cathedral and also its oldest Anglican house of worship. It's a gem for history, culture, and architecture buffs." - Ashlea Halpern

St. Andrew's Cathedral – Landmark Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"What can we expect from this place? You can't miss this giant, wedding-cake-like monument in the middle of Singapore's Civic District—it's one of the oldest buildings in the area and perhaps the most imposing, with its Neo Gothic design topped with a minimalist spire. Park grounds surround the structure so it stands out as a sanctuary in the midst of a busy urban area. This is Singapore's largest cathedral and also its oldest Anglican house of worship.  What’s the mood like? Quiet reflection. Who comes here? This is a church with an active parish, so there are services throughout the week. Why would you recommend a visit here? It's an architectural and spiritual balm in the middle of an area dotted with concrete, cookie-cutter malls. A nice breather from the frenetic scene outside the grounds. And who do you think would most enjoy it—or not? It's a gem for history, culture, and architecture buffs. Not a place for kids who need to expend energy or those just in it for the 'gram (though non-flash photography is allowed)." - Audrey Phoon

Located at the heart of Singapore Civic district, this oldest Anglican Cathedral is a historical charm. Its stunning Neo-Gothic architectural style, featuring tall white columns and beautifully arched ceilings that create a sense of serenity. The white exterior made it really stands out among the modern concrete. Its interior, however, looks rather simple in comparison and the church is smaller than I thought. That said, it is worthwhile stop for prayer, reflection, or simply to admire its beauty.

A peaceful and awe-inspiring place to visit in the heart of the city. The cathedral’s architecture is stunning, with tall white columns and beautifully arched ceilings that create a sense of serenity. I was able to walk in without any wait, and the staff were kind and welcoming. Whether you’re here to pray, reflect, or simply admire the beauty of the space, it’s absolutely worth stopping by. Quiet, calming, and full of historical charm.

Singapore's Anglican church Cathedral - large, inpressive, and, which is most important to me personally, extremely welcoming to the visitors like me: starting from their beautiful, spacious and relaxing visitors centre on to very informative route planners and narrative posters all around its premises. Well done, God bless you, kind people of St. Andrew's!

Very beautiful church, open to the public. We arrived when the people were preparing to have service so we left pretty fast. The stained glass windows are wonderful.

St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore's oldest Anglican church, stands as a majestic landmark near City Hall. Its pristine white Neo-Gothic architecture offers a striking contrast to the modern skyline. Inside, the spacious interior and beautiful stained-glass windows dedicated to historical figures create a peaceful atmosphere for reflection. A testament to Singapore's colonial past and a continuing place of worship, it's worth a visit for its history and tranquil beauty.

St Andrew Cathedral also known as 圣安德烈座堂 in chinese is a national monument located in City Hall. It has a rich history and cultural heritage and is definitely worth visiting. While strolling in the courtyard, you might be greeted by sights of sagat seeds scattered across the ground. There are many sagat trees in the vicinity as this is one of the most commonly planted trees by NParks in Singapore. St Andrew's Neo-Gothic architectural style is impressive to say the least and there are many rustic artefacts that can be found in the Cathedral itself. The interior of the Cathedral boasts of beautifully crafted glass windows which are dedicated to the founder of Singapore Raffles, the second resident of Singapore, John Crawford and the Governor of Singapore, Major General William Butterford. Across the street is Funan mall, where there are plenty of food options. For those wishing to visit the Cathedral, take note that the visitor centre is only open on Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm.

i must admit all my previous encounters were either wandering around just beyond the boundary fencing or those odd chance of sneaking in during my pokemon go gyming days! never actually had the chance of catching a glimpse within the cathedral, until today! and it's also mainly due to their long period of refurbishment and then a wedding invitation later, that i finally get to venture in. wow, a great place of worship for sure but also such a great venue for weddings! historical, classical, majestic yet intimate enough for that special day for many. the acoustics well rounded with video screens strategically adorned on walls behind pillars which might otherwise block direct line of sight of the pulpit from the pew. easy access via city hall mrt station, sheltered from the elements. paid parking available on site but can be challenging on worship days. nevertheless, plentiful paid parking options surrounds! a multi purpose 'pavilion' hall just outside the cathedral also serves as a place for hospitality receptions. still can't quite compare with the liverpool cathedral that I had the chance of visiting during my recent uk road trip but nonetheless a great central option for anyone considering a white wedding!

Beautiful inside. Organist good, without embellishment. Fine 21st century video displays. English rector awful. Unpacking of gospel rudimentary, delivery bland, scolded ushers mid-sermon, stopped twice to look at his wristwatch. All this on Easter? Pathetic.

Downtown, in the middle of all the scyscrapers, you can find this nice neo gothic church. It is a little bit bizarre to find a building like this one between the big bank buildings, but I really like this opposite. From the nice green garden around the church you also have a good view to the giant wheel and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Unfortunatily I did not have the chance to have a look inside, because there were some kind of official thing inside the day I passed by. Anyways one of the points you have to visit in Singapore I think.

Located in the heart of the city but on weekdays this is one of the most peaceful place you can find away from the bustle and hustle, the crowd and noise just by stepping within its gates. You don't need to be a Christian (and I'm not) to enjoy the serenity of this place. It's a fantastic place to have a picnic during lunch on weekdays and it you are lucky, the organist will be practicing and a free lunch time concert to go with your lunch, free. One of the best kept secrets in town and it's right beside the mrt exit. If you ever step into the grand dame, look closely at the stained glass centerpiece behind the altar and you may find the family crest of Sir Stamford Raffles.

Very pretty cathedral, the largest church in Singapore. The stained glass and blue walls are quite picturesque and fit perfectly with the warmth and tropical vibe of Singapore. It gets a bit warm in here with only fans, but the stone at least stays cool. Cool site to explore in Singapore.
