MOKUAIKAUA CHURCH
Mokuaikaua Church, built in 1820, is the oldest church in the state of Hawaii and the tallest building in the city
It is the oldest church in the state of Hawaii. Built in 1820 by missionaries on a site sacred to the Hawaiians, it was enlarged in 1836 using heiau (temple) stones, the polytheistic Hawaiian religion having been abolished in 1819. It symbolizes the conflict and transition that took place in the islands at that time. Its impressive 35-meter steeple makes this church the tallest building in the city. It was used for a long time as a landmark for navigators approaching the coast..
