About Christ Church Melaka

Christ Church was built by the Dutch between 1741 and 1753 and is the oldest functioning Protestant church in Malaysia. It became Anglican after the British took Melaka and was renamed Christ Church in 1838.

Inside, the ceiling is spanned by wooden beams each cut from a single tree, and the floor is paved with granite blocks that once served as ships' ballast. Old tombstones and memorial plaques line the walls.
