St Paul's Cathedral is an Australian Anglican cathedral church located in Sale, Victoria. The cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of Gippsland and is the seat of the Bishop of Gippsland, currently Richard Treloar.
The cathedral building, built in 1884 to a design by Nathaniel Billing,[1] is a double storey building with a rectangular footprint and is constructed of red brick and slate roofing.
The cathedral's interior is decorated in a Gothic Revival style expressing a high church liturgy. The walls are of white rendered plaster with Oregon roof buttressing. Above the sanctuary is the "great western window" depicting the Sermon on the Mount and several other windows include St Paul's vision of the Macedonian[2] and the diocese's coat of arms line the nave. Within the nave are a Lady chapel, a bishop's chapel and an honour roll.
