Metropolitan United Cathedral

Metropolitan United Cathedral in Toronto is one of the symbols of the city. A tall neo-Gothic church is located on Queen Street East.

The cathedral belongs to the United Protestant Church, the second largest after the Roman Catholic in the number of followers in Canada. The neo-Gothic cathedral, which became a cathedral for Toronto, was built in 1870 by Henry Langley, who erected a building in the style of the early French Middle Ages in downtown Toronto. The main dominant of the temple is the Gothic tower – a bell tower located at the entrance to the cathedral.

Metropolitan United Cathedral was badly damaged in the fire of 1928, but was restored in its original form and today appears before visitors in all its splendor. The cathedral is known for its carillon of 23 bells, which are controlled by a keyboard. In 1930, the largest organ in Toronto appeared in the temple.
