    (Translated by Google) The church building is adjacent to the Buddhist temple and is located just a few meters from it. (Original) Здание костела соседствует с буддийским храмом и находится от него буквально в нескольких метрах.

    St. Paul's Church located in Kandy is a remarkable architectural masterpiece that showcases the rich history and cultural significance of Sri Lanka. As a college student, my visit to this historical landmark left me in awe of its intricate design and mesmerizing aura. The church, adorned with exquisite stained glass windows and ornate woodwork, exudes a sense of serenity and peace. The knowledgeable tour guide's explanations enhanced my understanding of the church's importance in the religious landscape of Kandy. Furthermore, the church's location amidst the lush greenery of the city adds to its tranquil ambiance, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Undoubtedly, St. Paul's Church in Kandy is an outstanding testament to the enduring beauty of religious architecture and an experience I highly recommend.

    This is a building with amazing architectural features. So calm place next to the temple of tooth relic. P.S. However didn't allow to take pictures inside due to some reasons.

    This might be a little bit biased as I've been to this church my whole life. It's in a very good environment as we've got the Temple of the Tooth and the kovil in very close proximity. This church is pretty old and has great time stamps.

  • 5/5 Akalanka D. 2 years ago on Google
    This old church in classic Gothic style is lovely, with many memorial tablets which tell very interesting and sometimes moving stories of the early settlers who worshipped here. The building seems well maintained and there is some delightful stained glass. We were there on a Sunday morning just after morning service and it was nice to see the church so well patronised.

    Magnificent irresistible architecture. St. Paul's Church was begun in 1843, completed in 1848, and enlarged in 1878 and 1928. It originally served as a garrison church for British troops stationed in the surrounding hills, and has retained its essential simplicity ever The organ at St. Paul’s Church in Kandy is one of only six pipe organs in the The clock on St. Paul’s tower has a similar tale to that of its organ and installed in1885, it sits in the dark of the high machine room beneath the belfry, steadily ticking away the decades.

    The church of St.Paul's is located right next to the temple of tooth. The road that leads to the church is distinct from the nearby roads. The outer road and building architecture does remind you of the British period. The church is beautiful but nothing special. The church was completely empty when we visited hence we couldn't get more information.... A good tourist spot to visit in Kandy.

    Currently under renovation. A bit of a noxious atmosphere inside due to this. Sure it will be better once the renovation is finished.

    (Translated by Google) There is a church in Potun in the sacred place of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. It was a church that I could not enter but I felt history. (Original) スリランカの仏教の聖地にポツンとある教会。中には入ることができなかったが歴史を感じさせる教会であった。
