Bristol cathedral

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Bristol belongs to the Anglican Church and is a remarkable example of English Gothic architecture. The first building of the cathedral was built in 1140 and was the residence of the bishop. The building was then rebuilt several times. The temple acquired its modern appearance in 1877, when the main nave of the cathedral was opened. The construction of two western towers was completed in 1888. The total external length of the cathedral is 94.1 meters, the area is 2096 square meters.

Bristol Cathedral is an example of the so-called "hall church" and is considered one of the best examples of such an architectural solution in the world and the only one in England. Central nave, choir and passages of the same height, which gives the impression of one large hall with high ribbed vaults. The length of the central nave is 38 meters, height is 16 meters. The high windows of the cathedral are decorated with stained glass windows depicting Jesus Christ and religious scenes, they miss enough of the saint to illuminate the cathedral during the day.

The organ was originally built in 1685. Subsequently, it was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded. The last reconstruction was carried out in 1989.
