🌈Attraction features: St. Andrew's Cathedral has a bright white exterior, with walls made of a special white paint made from shell ash, protein, sugar, and coconut shells. It has been shining for centuries, symbolizing the sanctity of religion. The Gothic architecture, towering spires, exquisite sculptures and decorations, and the 63-meter-high tower above the west gate can be seen clearly from a distance, tall and solemn. St. Andrew's Cathedral was founded in 1834 and completed in 1837. It was later struck by lightning and rebuilt between 1852 and 1856. In 1973, it was listed as a national monument of Singapore, bearing a multicultural heritage. The three stained glass windows in the semicircular apse of the church are dedicated to Sir Stamford Raffles, John Crawford, and Major General William Butterworth, and sunlight can be reflected through the stained glass. The church is surrounded by a square courtyard, shaded by green trees, and the white church building contrasts with each other, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, providing a comfortable space for visitors and believers. 🕐️Opening hours: St. Andrew's Cathedral in Singapore is open all year round from 07:00 to 20:00, and the church is temporarily closed on public holidays.
