Under the guidance of the 2nd Bishop of Colombo the Rt. Rev. Piers Calverley Claughton and under the leadership of Revd. Dr. George Schrader, later Archdeacon of Colombo, the construction of the church building was commenced. In 1868 October 30th the laying of the foundation stone was held. 1871 February 21st the church building was consecrated by the Bishop Claughton for the glory of God and for worship services. All those who step into this church whether foreign or local say that this is a magnificent church. The Church building is being built according to the Gothic Architecture. The stained glass windows which depicts Bible stories of the Birth of Jesus, Baptism, crucifixion, resurrection and Pentecost and 4 granite stone pillars proves that it is a magnificent beautiful edifice, which is archeologically preserved.

All Saints Church in Galle fort is a church belong to the Anglican community. It houses some beautiful structures & good old stained glass arts. A beautiful place to visit.

Ask this church management to just walk to the next Dutch-reformed church and learn how to use this one as a historic place. An utter waste in letting the walls of this place get damped in rainwater and the roof collect dust. Very sad on how this historic place is kept.

It is very beautiful. Its appearance is amazing. The cave also has a very ancient history and is a must visit place if you visit Galle Fort.👀😎👍

Majestic interior...Beautiful stained glass windowd. Open for public...

This place was a surprising stop on my and my boyfriend's walk through the historical center of Galle. I think that this church is much more interesting than e.g. Galle's lighthouse. Stop by to checkout architecture, atmosphere, and to take a few pictures.

Beautiful iconic place to visit in galle fort

Another of the many sights to be found within Galle Fort is All Saints Anglican Church. Built in a gorgeous Gothic Revival style, the church was opened in 1871, and its fine features paint a very pretty picture. Its white arches, columns, and central tower stand out delightfully against the dull kabuk rock and mortar of its walls, with its inside painted in the same dazzlingly bright white. Here you’ll find some very solid pews and fantastic stained-glass windows. The cool temperature and peaceful ambiance make it the perfect place for some quiet introspection away from the heat and noise of the city.
