The Tree Church- Ohaupo

The Tree Church- Ohaupo

The Tree Church is a unique and breathtaking living chapel located in Ohaupo, near Hamilton, New Zealand. Designed and created by Barry Cox, this remarkable structure is made entirely of live trees carefully pruned and shaped into a stunning cathedral-like form. Inspired by his love of both nature and architecture, Cox spent years cultivating the trees, which include species like Alnus, Cut Leaf Alder, and Copper Sheen.

The Tree Church sits amidst beautiful gardens and offers a peaceful, serene atmosphere. It is a popular destination for weddings, private events, and visitors seeking a tranquil, natural retreat. With its living walls and canopy, the Tree Church is a true testament to sustainable design and creativity. The surrounding 3-acre garden also features walking paths, a labyrinth, and ponds, making it a unique experience for nature lovers and tourists alike.

The church itself has the capacity to seat 100 guests, and is now frequently used as a location for weddings, and similar themed events.
