About St Peter's Church

St Peter's was built in 1710 on land given by a Dutch convert, after decades in which Catholics in Dutch Melaka were not allowed their own churches. It is the oldest functioning Roman Catholic church in Malaysia and was a Portuguese mission church for almost three centuries.

The facade mixes European and local styles. The church was extensively restored for its 300th anniversary in 2010.
