Description

The German Lutheran Trinity Church, inspired by the Gothic Revival movement, was built using bluestone and positioned in the traditional Christian architectural east-west direction.

The church features a nave illuminated by clerestory windows, flanked by aisles on each side, a chancel/sanctuary at the east, and a choir/organ loft at the west. The panelled timber ceiling resembles an upside-down ship hull, while the nave is lined with columns adorned with flower capitals. The interior joinery and fittings are made from cedar and blackwood. The church showcases magnificent stained-glass windows, crafted in Melbourne from 1874 to the present day, including the Jubilee window from 2003. The altar, located at the centre of the chancel/sanctuary, forms half a decagon, symbolising an early Christian tradition. Originally built in 1860, the church hall served as a Lutheran school. In 1890, a bluestone pastor's residence/manse was added to the ensemble.
