    It's a really nice place to visit on weekends. Great peace of architecture and well maintained. You won't be able to guess the age of this church by seeing the color of the stones. It's open only on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

    A place which is an intricate part of the 1857 revolution days, now under control of religious bodies. That's how people lose interest in their history.

    Glass Wonders !! This place is just amazing with the all glass structures. It is really incredible to see how such structures were made at a time when there were no modern machines.Lovely glass paintings and so beautifully made temple. Really amazing. Do remember that the temple has very strict timings as they dont allow people after 5.30 or 6 pm. Leather wallets, belts or jackets are not allowed here

    One of the oldest and beautiful churches of India, the Kanpur Memorial Church is located on Albert Lane. Also known as the All Souls Cathedral Church, it is popularly known for its architecture and historical importance. Established in 1857, the church is a memoir of the lost British troops of the Sepoy Mutiny. The Kanpur Memorial Church can be accessed via roadways and railways. Located close to the Cawnpore Club in Kanpur Cantonment, the church is about 5.2 km from the main Kanpur city. The Kanpur Airport on Airforce Lane is approximately 7.3 km from the church and can be reached via a 90 to 110-minute drive. The Kanpur Memorial Church is about 2.4 km from the railway station and 4 km from the Kanpur Interstate Bus Depot. They can be accessed via a 10-minute drive each.

    Kanpur Memorial Church is a serene and historically significant place. The stunning Gothic architecture and tranquil surroundings make it a peaceful spot to reflect on the past. This church stands as a poignant reminder of the events during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. It's a place where history comes alive, and the beautifully maintained gardens add to its charm. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking a moment of serenity, a visit to Kanpur Memorial Church is a worthwhile experience.

  • 4/5 CRAZY WITH M. 9 months ago on Google
    The Kanpur Memorial Church, originally known as the All Souls' Church, is a church located in Kanpur, India that belongs to the Church of North India, a united Protestant denomination. It was built in 1875 in honour of British valour during the Siege of Cawnpore in 1857. The church is situated on Albert Lane near Cawnpore Club in Kanpur Cantonment. It is situated in the heart of the cantonment. The church was designed by Walter Granville, architect of the East Bengal Railway. The complete church in Lombardic Gothic style is attractively executed in bright red brick with polychrome dressings. To the east of the church is the memorial garden which can only be approached through one gateway. It has a handsome carved Gothic screen designed by Henry Yule. Its centre is occupied by a beautiful carved figure of an angel by Baron Carlo Marochetti, with crossed arms, holding palons, i.e. symbols of peace. This carved figure was created in memory of the Bibighar massacre, where Indian rebels killed approximately 200 unarmed European women and children with guns and cleavers, throwing their remains into a nearby well and burying some survivors under the pile of bodies.

    The architecture is beautiful but the people managing it are absolute chutyas who don't know the value of heritage and architecture They don't let you take pictures and behave very rudely with that typical UP demeanour... I don't know if they wanted money or not but I wouldn't recommend anyone going here coz you'll be wasting your time.

    This church exudes vintage appearance. The red bricks truly stands out. It is an architectural delight. I consider it to be one of the best tourist destinations in Uttar Pradesh. I think, it is the most beautiful church of Kanpur. Additionally, it is open to anybody who wishes to visit and pray.

    1. The 3 stars given is just for the magnificent construction done by the Britishers done more than 100 years back. 2. The ASI and the UP state Government alongwith the tourism department should be ashamed of maintaing this historically important and beautiful place in such a pathetic way. 3. Although, the facts and the history which one gets to know post visiting this church is an eye opener. 4. It is very strongly recommended to visit at least once. UP Government BABUs, wake up in life and do justice to your salary.

  • 3/5 MANOJ J. 8 months ago on Google • 85 reviews
    Kanpur Memorial Church is a captivating blend of architectural elegance and historical significance. The church's design showcases a remarkable fusion of Gothic and Romanesque styles, with intricate arches, stained glass windows, and towering spires that pay tribute to its Victorian origins. The delicate stone carvings and meticulous detailing on its façade exude an air of grandeur and artistry. Set against the backdrop of Kanpur's history, this church holds a special place in the city's heart as a reminder of the past. The tranquil ambiance within its walls invites visitors to reflect and find solace. However, the maintenance of the premises could be improved to enhance the overall experience. With a mix of admiration for its architectural beauty and consideration for its upkeep, I would give Kanpur Memorial Church a rating of 3.5 stars. It's a destination well worth visiting for its historic charm and the sense of reverence it instills, but a bit more attention to maintenance would make it an even more fulfilling experience.

    This church is one of our state’s oldest and most valuable structures. Its architectural design is very impressive and popular in Western culture during the 19th century. Most of the church’s brickwork is made of red bricks. You can visit here any time of the day during working hours.

    The Kanpur Memorial Church, known as All Souls Cathedral, was built in 1875. It was designed by Walter Granville, an architect for the East Bengal Railway. The exquisitely decorated window panes with interesting inscriptions still hold the charm. The red-brick Lombardic tower is situated in Kanpur Cantonment on Albert Lane. It is bordered by a cemetery that contains the graves of British soldiers and victims of the terrible Cawnpore siege.

    Hella' lot of discrimination and now it's just a part of the religious body you are not allowed inside until you'll take permission and even then it's not guaranteed that you'll be allowed to go inside. It's only worth going there if You have a membership Very disappointed It doesn't deserve one star either.
