Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

à deux pas de la cathédrale, ne manquez pas cette jolie église, qui présente une très belle lumière.

Built between 1819 and 1824 by convict labour and designed by former-convict-turned-government -architect Francis Greenway, St James’ Anglican Church is Australia s oldest church.
The first service was held on 6th January 1822, when the new colony not yet 50 years old.
If the architecture looks a little unusual that’s because it was originally designed to be a courthouse. Macquarie’s grand plans for an expansive public works programme came a bit unstuck when a London report found that it was all too expensive. Some buildings were cancelled or put on hold and the courthouse was converted to a church. The planned prison underneath the building became the crypt.
The most striking feature is the 52 metre tall copper steeple. However theft was another problem for Macqurie and when the spire was erected in 1824, the copper sheets were stamped with arrows to deter thieves (a constant problem in a penal colony).
St James is still an active church today with regular masses so it is open to the public to walk in.
On Wednesdays there are a free lunchtime concerts (donations accepted), starting around 1pm. I happened to wander past around this time and the doors were open so I took a seat up the back and enjoyed the last part of the concert.

Great charm and a quiet grandeur that is very pleasing on the eye, one can imagine early colonists being pleased with their efforts, and rightly so.

I was somewhat disconcerted when I arrived to see workmen removing pipework from the church and the main entry barricaded to the public. One of the workmen advised that I could use the side entry. Once inside I discovered that the organ was being dismantled ans a farewell concert of organ music had been held on 30th October. Plenty to interest inside with the stained-glass windows and various memorials and monuments. The church dates to 1819 and was consecrated in 1824. The building is a good example of Georgian architecture with an impressive portico fronting the West Street entry. It unfortunate that the church is surrounded by higher buildings. Worth visiting if in the area for the history and the inscriptions on the many memorials embedded in the walls.

Make sure you see the stained glass window in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit (the southern side of the church). Modern and magnificent.

This is the oldest church in City and has been in continuous use from its consecration from 1824 to now. It was named in honour of St James the great. Francis Greenway the convict architect designed the church. St James Railway station is also named after the church. The church contains a rare collection of 1800's marble memorials, has a painted Children's Chapel and has rare heritage items.

St. James Church is located in a central part of the city of Sydney, amongst legal and commercial buildings. It is a significant part of the city as it is the oldest surviving building in the area, having been built in 1824. It is a lovely church and part of the history of Sydney,and is worth a look if you happen to be passing by.

Die älteste Kirche der Stadt gibt sich im Vergleich zur katholischen klein und bescheiden. Trotzdem lohnt ein Besuch.

αυτό το παλιό αρχιτεκτονικό κόσμημα αν και μικρό σαν κτίσμα σου κεντρίζει την προσοχή απο τη πρώτη στιγμή που φτάνεις στο μεγάλο πάρκο απ' όπου και είναι ορατό. πρόκειτε για εκκλησιαστικό κτίριο με βιτρώ στα παράθυρα και με κρύπτη απο κάτω του.

St James Church makes a far better ecclesiastical building, even though it has been much modified over its 200 years, than a law court which was the original plan. Do not be put off by the coffee cart that occupies the east end yard facing Hyde Park Barracks and much used by the lawyers and advocates that frequent the adjacent court building. So in a way the original plan is in part fulfilled.
While the interior is far from original, the church is fine and a place of peace and quiet in this bustling and noisy city. The memorials to the great and the good and others who have died are fascinating and some would today draw the ire of the politically correct but the stories they tell are worth reading.
