Kawaiaha'o Church

Fancifully called Hawai'i's Westminster Abbey, this 14,000-coral-block house of worship witnessed the coronations, weddings, and funerals of generations of Hawaiian royalty. Each of the building's coral blocks was quarried from reefs offshore at depths of more than 20 feet and transported to this site. Interior woodwork was created from the forests of the Ko'olau Mountains. The upper gallery has an exhibit of paintings of the royal families. The graves of missionaries and of King Lunalilo are in the yard. Services in English and Hawaiian are held each Sunday. Although there are no guided tours, you can look around the church at no cost. COST: Free. English service Sun. at 8 AM and Wed. at 6 PM, Hawaiian service Sun. at 10:30 AM.
