Paofai Protestant Temple
See the Protestant temple at Paofai, a major place of worship on Papeete’s waterfront, where the congregation’s traditions are as important as the architecture.
This is a living religious landmark with roots in the early Protestant mission. The present building continues a succession of chapels and larger temples serving the growing congregation. Observing its exterior adds context to the nearby waterfront gardens; attending worship calls for respectful dress and attention to local practice.
What to look for
Large waterfront temple
Architecture continuing an older evangelical tradition
Useful to know
Treat worship as a religious service, not a staged performance.
