St Patrick`s Church

If you're looking for a glimpse of Western Australia's rich history and architecture, St Patrick's Church in York should definitely be on your list. This charming building was constructed in the 19th century and boasts an impressive combination of Gothic and Romanesque styles. Its sandstone walls and striking stained glass windows make for truly stunning views, both inside and out. But St Patrick's Church isn't just a beautiful piece of history - it's still an active church, hosting regular services and events for the community. So why not pay a visit, take in the sights, and maybe even catch a sermon or two?

Get ready to be transported back in time to 1875, the year when St Patrick's Church laid its foundation stone on none other than St Patrick's Day! You heard it right, this beautiful church was completed in 1886 and features a Gothic Revival design made of local stone. But that's not all, imported stain glass windows from Italy add a touch of grandeur to the church's beauty.

The church's design and construction were under the supervision of none other than ex-convict Joseph Nunan, commissioned by Father Patrick Gibney, the resident priest at that time.



If you're looking to explore Western Australia's history, York is the place to be, as it's the oldest inland town in the state. A mere 90-minute drive southeast of Perth, this charming town is waiting to be discovered!
