Very beautiful and scenic location of the Shimla.There is the Mall Road very next to it and the lakkar bazar on the other end. Christ Church area looks really beautiful in the night with all the highlighter lights.Add value to your treasure of good and Unforgettable Memories.Must visit during Shimla tour.

During the British Raj in India, the area around the church was occupied by a huge flock of Britishers and Anglo-Indians. Since they were the followers of Christianity, they asked the government to build a place of worship for them. Hence, in 1844, the construction of the Christ Church started. For conducting the divine services, the church was officially given the license on October 11th, 1846, while it became a pure symbol of devotion on January 10th, 1857.Interesting facts about the Christ Church are as follows:The foundation of the church was laid down by Bishop Reverend Thomas Daltry.It took nearly 11 to 12 years to construct it.The total cost was around INR 40,000 to 50,000 for its entire construction.

It was very beautiful, and good for taking pictures.

The most prominent place of Shimla. Very beautiful and scenic location of the Shimla. Christ Church was one of the few colonial buildings erected in Shimla, which was once the summer capital of the British. It is a beautiful place to stroll around. There is the Mall Road very next to it and the lakkar bazar on the other end. There are benches opposite of the church where one can sit on and enjoy the views. The view from here changes at different time of the day.

That was a great place. You can walk around and feel the breeze. Good for a evening walk or to go for a walk with your spouse. Enjoy your time . The view of this church at night is just amazing as I captured on the images. Its like a fairytale.

The church gives delight to the eyes even more at night when colourful lights give it an ornamental look.
