The Top 100 Most Iconic Buildings in New Zealand


This page shows the top 100 of most iconic buildings in New Zealand based on the votes by the public on Facebook.

It's not a list by the most votes of all buildings, but by the buildings with the highest ranks of each region. The most votes for the most iconic buildings of each region are listed first followed by the most votes of the second ranked buildings of each region, etc.

This way of ranking spreads the regions more equally, which is what we're after.

Minimum votes is 25. Voting is still possible. This page will be updated automatically.

Whether we decide to make a model depends on several factors.

You can also view the list by total votes of all buildings.
