Christ Church

Christ Church on Shimla's Ridge is the second oldest church in North India and one of the finest examples of neo-Gothic architecture in the entire Himalayan region, consecrated in 1857 during the height of the British colonial era. The church's most celebrated features are its magnificent five stained glass windows depicting Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, and Patience, created in England. A UNESCO-listed colonial heritage landmark, Christ Church Shimla is the most photographed building in Himachal Pradesh and an essential stop for architecture, history, and heritage enthusiasts visiting the hill capital.
