Photos of Liverpool Cathedral

Liverpool Cathedral is the largest church in the United Kingdom, also known as the Cathedral of Christ in Liverpool (Catherdral Church of Chris in Liverpool), which is also the fifth largest cathedral in the world. Its architectural style combines traditional Gothic and more modern monument styles. The single-tower design was an innovation at the time, with a tower height of 101 meters and a built-in clock, the third largest in the world. It is worth mentioning that this magnificent and solemn religious building was actually created by a 22-year-old young man. In 1902, Giles Gilbert Scott, who was only 22 years old, was selected in the design competition of Liverpool Cathedral. Although it also caused a lot of controversy, Scott's family background in Gothic style (father and grandfather have designed and built many church) did not let the project run aground. In 1904, King Edward laid the foundation stone and the church began to be built. However, due to the downturn of the national economy and the impact of the World War, in 1978, after a lapse of 76 years, the main part of the church was officially completed, and Queen Elizabeth II participated in the completion. ceremony. It is a pity that Scott passed away in 1960. He did not wait for the day when his works were presented, but Scott not only left this beautiful church, but also the iconic red telephone booth in London. To this day, Liverpool Cathedral is an outstanding example of church architecture in the world. It attracts many tourists every year. The beautiful stained glass in the church depicts stories about the Bible. There are also more species in the world. Large and heavier chime pipe organ with a total of 9765 pipes.
