St Brigid's Church: architecture and design
St Brigid's Church North Fitzroy
The church was designed in the late 1860’s by architect T.A Kelly, before being erected in 1870. Constructed in the Decorated Gothic Style, the blue-stone exterior of St Brigid’s casts a striking silhouette against the surrounding skyline.
The powerful blue-stone façade and unique symmetry of the architecture provide a setting of considered subtlety. Inside, the church is graced with a myriad of exquisite details: high timber ceilings, hand paintings and breathtaking stained glass windows, make wonderful backdrops for the ceremony. One of the centerpieces of the church is the beautifully restored organ. Built by Alfred Fuller, the organ has been a part of St Brigid’s since 1886.
St Brigid’s excellent central location makes it a convenient option for wedding day celebrations. The large surrounding grounds provide ample space for parking. We have seen many couples falling in love with St Brigid’s gorgeous combination of rich history, striking architecture and great location. Indeed, our church is one of prayerful, elegant and traditional venue for Catholic ceremonies.
