Kailua Kona - Moku'aikaua Church
|
|
Opposite Hulihee Palace stands the oldest church (1837) on the Hawaiian islands. The 108ft/33m-high tower is the tallest building and landmark in Kailua-Kona.
The land on which the 118ft/36m-long and 46ft/14m-wide Mokuaikaua Church stands was given to the first missionaries on Hawaii in 1820 by King Kamehameha II. A model of the three-master "Thaddeus" from Boston (on which the missionaries arrived after several months of traveling in Hawaii) is on display inside.
