Keysborough Church of Resurrection - We Built This City

We Built this City celebrates the stories of some of Greater Dandenong’s favourite heritage sites as chosen by our community.

Historically, the Keysborough Church of Resurrection was controversial in its departure from traditional Roman Catholic church design. Today the Church is included on the Victoria Heritage Register, being of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria and remains much loved and utilised by its current church community.
