Christ Church, Raukokore is a charming, historic Anglican church perched near the shore at Papatea Bay on New Zealand’s East Cape. Built in 1894-95 by architect Duncan Stirling, it’s a quiet beacon—simple in design, beautifully maintained, and rich with local whakapapa. A Category 1 Historic Place, the church is strongly connected with Te Whānau-ā-Apanui people and widely regarded as one of the East Coast’s most photographed landmarks. Whether for reflection, photos, or just soaking in rugged coastal views, it’s well worth a stop on any road trip along SH35
