Highlight and celebrate our heritage during Whanganui Heritage Month.
Whanganui has one of New Zealand’s highest concentrations of European heritage buildings, still largely intact, and dominating the city center.
They represent a complete and significant number of building styles dating between 1860 and 1960. There are also a large number of Māori sites of significance including the St Paul’s Memorial Church, Putiki which was recently awarded NZ Heritage Category 1 status, and numerous marae along the Whanganui River Road to the picturesque settlement of Jerusalem.
