St Peter's Cathedral, Likoma

St Peter's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral on the island of Likoma in Lake Malawi. It was founded as a mission station that became the inland African headquarters of the Universities' Mission to Central Africa (UMCA). The cathedral was begun in 1903 and completed in 1911. It became the seat of a diocese whose boundaries and name have shifted over time; today it is the seat of the bishop of Northern Malawi in the Church of the Province of Central Africa. The Gothic Revival cathedral, made largely of granite quarried on Likoma, features a cruciform plan with two towers at the west end and a double-ended apsidal layout inspired by Carolingian and Ottonian churches. The high cathedral style of St Peter's reflected the UMCA's Anglo-Catholic and Tractarian commitments. At 17,600 square feet (1, 640 m2), the building was reported by The Guardian to be the third-largest cathedral in Africa as of 2016.
