This is a really nice and peaceful place. You can look around and just sit in peace. Uodate on 7th October 2018- people weren't allowed to go up which was disappointing. There used to be wishing fountain but now I am not sure if people still throw the coins or no. There wasn't lights on like before. There is free candle provided inside the praying room so you don't need to buy candle from the shop. Just give money as offering.

Very unique architecture for a church, mix of Hindu and Buddhist temple elements. Free entrance. It's outskirts of city but can easily get Grab. Note the use of Allah unlike in Malaysia is prohibited.

One of the best architecture for Catholic Church. Very unique and interesting. Now the church open as a tourism destination. Quite far from the city. Better come on Sunday, when the traffic is not too crowded. Large parking and very welcome from all the staff. Recommended place to visit if you are travelling to this city.

Interesting Indian flavoured Catholic Church. Beatifully built and decorated with great authenticity. The church sat in a significantly large compund. We were greeted by an Indonesian nun who was eager to show us around this beautiful church. We can hear Tamil mass was being held on the next door chappel.

Worship place in medan. Also served as a church, mainly for sri lankan descent. The architecture is very unique, whilst most church used modern design , this church use south asian model. The place is very quiet and serene, many people retreated to this place to gain peace of mind. They also have a natural spring, which is believed to bring positive effect to the people.

Not a big parish/paroki of catholic but like graha. One interesting building that made of pastor and community of Indian tamil. Can still pay a visit during pandemic with limited time and can only pay in chapel

A tourist attraction, that is novel, and quite beautiful. Very well kept gardens. Close to the City centre.

This is a beautiful church. If you are in medan, put it in a must visit list. The architecture of this place is heavily influence of Hinduism and Catholicism. It was so colorful. There is no mass when we arrived as it was Sunday.

Beautiful, peaceful place. Chatholic church with indian influence.

An iconic India-Hindu influenced catholic curch. Beautiful architecture. A must see place !

(Translated by Google) The Catholic Church in the city of Medan is a people of Indian descent in North Sumatra. Magnificent and beautiful church building. There was a fire on November 2, 2002. And the miracles of the holy bible did not burn. Stay intact. There is also a devotional book and 10 million in cash. Miracles occur again where the fountain comes from under the altar of the Virgin Mary. The water flows slowly not swiftly. but not abundant. Praise God, the Most Merciful. (Original) Gereja katolik di kota Medan umatnya orang keturunan india di sumatera utara. Bangunan gereja yang megah dan indah. Terjadi kebakaran tgl 2 Novemper 2002. Dan mujizat kitab suci injil tidak hangus. Tetap utuh. Juga ada 1 buku madah bakti dan uang tunai 10juta. Mujizat lagi terjadi dimana sumber mata air dari bawah altar bunda Maria. Airnya mengalir pelan tidak deras. tetapi tidak melimpah. Pujilah Tuhan Maha Penyajang.

A wonderful church inspired by Fr.James SJ (A Jesuit Priest). Everyone should visit this church..Blessed Virgin Mary the church that heals the sick...the architecture is unique and it is one of a kind in the world.

This place is really fascinating, it has a wonderful view with a lot of visitors. It really crowded during the weekend and also this place is suitable for families, couples, and even students. This place is not only considered as a place for worship but also it's considered as one of the touristic attractions in the city.

(Translated by Google) During corona, the church is closed guys. I've come a long way even though. Hikssss (Original) Selama corona, gerejanya tutup guys. Udah datang jauh2 padahal. Hikssss

(Translated by Google) If you only want to write a request letter & make a donation as a thanksgiving, you can. The management will still provide holy water & holy oil for free. But if you want to take a photo right in front of the temple, you still can't because it's still closed until an undetermined time. If you come here, you want to buy spiritual accessories that fit in front of you, because you can keep it open. (Original) Jika hanya ingin menulis surat permohonan & memberikan sumbangan sebagai ucapan syukur bisa kok. Pihak pengelola tetap akan memberikan air suci & minyak suci secara gratis. Tapi kalau mau berfoto pas didepan kuil masih belum bisa karena masih ditutup sampe waktu yg belum ditentukan. Bila datang kesini mau membeli aksesoris rohani pas yg didepan valangkanni bisa karena tetap buka.

Its not just a tourist area. It is also a church. The building itself really beautifull in colors and painting. All the painting has its own meaning. Like outside the building it has two rams that connect the building from the first floor to the second floor (praying hall). You wont be able to take picture at the second floor . So make sure to respect people in that area. Because its just not a tourist area. U can also come at noon. Which they will turn on the light around the building.

Free to enter and is a reasonable distance from the city centre, this church is quite different than those from the west are used to. Good English information

It's OK, it is only an Indian priest who happened to be a Catholic built up a church where it is still influenced by Hindu culture.

Uniquely designed cathedral with a long circular platform to ascend to the second floor. Holy water is a little dark, but apart from that nice shop with affordable accessories and Catholic essentials. Plenty of parking opposite. Hyper touristy.

Beautiful architecture n a peaceful home of Mother Mary. Though it was eracted just pass the millennium it has already gained beautiful and meaningful miracles. Praise the Lord. Ppl from all walks of faith can visit this church and admire the beauty. Do spend sometime to meditate or pray here. It wil give you some peace.

Mixed Catholic Hindu temple 🛕 as a lapsed Catholic I think this might be the way to go! Great coffee and croissants.

A Hindu style church which is very unique. Worth a visit with its distinctive curve ramps on both sides of the building.

nice place for pray,with nice view.a quite place and which is famous from this place because there is a spring that flows suddenly and the water is believed to cure all diseases if we pray earnestly

Jännittävää arkkitehtuuria ja mielenkiintoinen fuusio kristinuskoa ja paikallista kulttuuria.
