Kawaiaha'o, the first
Christian Church in Hawaii, was built between 1836 and 1842 in
New England style architecture. It is often referred to as the
"Westminster Abbey of Hawaii". Fourteen thousand coral slabs,
quarried by hand from reefs 10 to 20 feet under water, comprise
the main structure. Each slab weighs more than 1000 pounds.
Four grass churches stood
on this site beginning in 1829. Wood for the interior of the
structure was cut from the Ko'olau Mountains. The church
currently seats 4,500 people.
