The Church of the Good Shepherd, Lake Tekapo, New Zealand

The Church of the Good Shepherd is situated on the shores of Lake Tekapo amongst the natural beauty of the lake and the mountains. A heritage at Mackenzie region. The Church has been home to thousands of weddings, and has seen more than its fair share of visitors to its grounds.
The builders of the Church were instructed that the site was to be left undisturbed, and that even the matagouri bushes surrounding the building were to remain. Rocks which happened to be on the wall line were not to be removed. The stones for the wall were to be procured from within a radius of five miles of the site, and were to be unchipped and in their natural condition
