Beautiful Church, Must visit place for everyone to enjoy and appreciate its beauty while at the same time get the blessings! Car and Bike parking available. Rest room available…

St. Philomena's Cathedral at Mysore is a great place to visit. Main thing, they have kept the entry free of cost. The architecture of the church is very grand and looks like any European church. They have provided parking space for cars behind the church. It's a very quite and peaceful place. We can sit on the benches and e joy peace of mind. There is a basement with few places of worship and one can exit through the narrow lane to the rear gate of church. There was no restriction on photography. They have kept the place clean. It's a unique architecture where there are 3 halls, one in front and other two on the either sides of the Pulpit (where Father stands for preaching). People can pray from all three sides (cross ➕ like structure). The colorful light rays enter the church from the stained glass windows of the church. It's a Beautiful church. It will be a little crowded on the weekend. Free parking lot available.

Love this place and ambience. The church is famous for its enchanting architecture in the Neo Gothic style. One must add this to must visit plaves in Mysuru and as it's mentioned over there, please respect and don't do any photography inside church or crypt.

Ancient church which is the one of the most famous attractive of mysore. Fairly big cathedral Very nice ambience. Good place to take group photos. Around4000 peoples were burried inside the church. We see it inside on our way out. Restroom is on the extreme right end

That was Christmas Day in 2022. Had been to this very old famous church in Mysore city to witness the Christmas Day celebration and decorations at the church. It was very much crowded and neatly arranged. The decorations were awesome. The premises was near and clean. So much of people were visiting to witness the day. There was so many attractions created to engage the visitors.

Great devotional place. An old and big church is this. Must visit if in Mysore. Spending some time inside the church will give peace. I visited post Christmas so there are Christmas things also.

A perfect tribute to Princess Filumena. St. Philomena is a Latin Catholic saint and martyr of the Roman Catholic Church. She was a young Greek princess martyred in the 4th century. A church at the same location was built in 1843 by Maharaja Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar. The Maharaja of Mysore laid the foundation stone of the church on 28 October 1933. One will be in awe of this structure. The style perfectly blends with the local culture. Also the place is very peaceful and clearly appears to be taken good care of. Useful Tip - Don't buy anything from vendors outside they just lie and charge you higher. You can get same wooden toys and magnets half the price at other places like Vrindavan Garden, etc

This church is in all its splendor with amazing Gothic architecture. It is reminiscent of the medieval European architecture. Undoubtedly, Mysore is rightly called the 'Heritage City' 👌🏻

With the fame of being one of the largest churches in India, this majestic church captivates everyone with its architectural excellence. So as i do too It also boasts of being the second largest church in Asia. Dedicated to Saint Philomena, St. Philomena’s Church is not only known for its architectural beauty and religious significance; it stands as an exemplary of secular viewpoint and the religious harmony which existed in Mysore. This can be seen from the fact that this church was built by Mysore ruler for the European residents in the city..

One of the very old and beautiful churches in India, the architecture of this church is very superb. If you are in Mysore simply don’t forget to visit this beautifully crafted church. You can go inside and get the blessings from the lord and from outside you can get some clicks as this church is very photogenic.

Again, no place of worship can be determined by the stars it receives because a religious place is about how one feels - spiritual or peaceful in such a place. St. Philomena's cathedral is one such place which I visit whenever I'm in Mysore. This church brings a sense of calm and peace. The church has a sufficient amount of parking available inside the premises. Mass is carried out in three languages - Kannada, Tamil and English - timings of mass and weekly prayers have been shared in pics.

Fabulous and great architecture! Wow! What a beauty this church is. Well maintained and all covid precautions are taken too. It also has a "crypt" in it which is amazing. I spent some time over here and it was a peaceful feeling in there. Parking facility is available too. I had an beautiful experience over here with my friends. St. Philomena's Cathedral is a Catholic church that is the cathedral of the Diocese of Mysore, India. The full name is the Cathedral of St. Joseph and St. Philomena . The crypt of this church starts from the center of the church and everyone is allowed to go there. Do visit and have peace.

It's aa cool place...

The building is painted grey in colour. There is a crib inside the church. Crib is situated below the ground and the pathway to this is from centre of the church.

One of the best and must visit churches. If you are in Mysore please don’t miss out this beautiful place. It’s peaceful and built so well. You can feel the calmness here. We went on a moon and the place was empty and we had the entire time to pray and feel the positivity around. The church is huge and treat to eyes. There’s enough parking for cars and bikes around the church.

Its stunning architecture and calm atmosphere create a unique, spiritual experience. Whether you're looking for some quiet reflection or simply appreciating the beautiful design, this church is a lovely escape from the city's hustle and bustle.

What a beautiful building, the construction is absolutely stunning. Was visiting this place for the first time at first I was a little confused if they have parking but for my luck they have ample of space for parking. The place is very well maintained and is very clean. The outsides have seen some recent restoration which is a good thing, the building is well maintained. The insides are also well maintained, the entire story of Jesus is lined on the walls in the form of paintings. There is a crypt at the bottom also where you can go and pay your respects. There is an old pipe organ on the top, just above the entrance, don’t miss seeing that.

Old church but it is well maintained. So looking very stunning, clean and tall. But no one is bothered about wearing mask or maintaining social distancing. The management must take care of this

Wonderful

A Christian church. It a historic church. Any one can enter and worship. No restrictions based on cast and creed. Photography restricted inside the church.

St. Philomena's Cathedral is a unique piece of architecture and is a must visit when you are in Mysore. The design is very pretty, the area is spacious and perfect to click photos. The doors and windows are also very ornate. Don't forget to go inside the chapel. It is very peaceful and calm inside. There is also a small place of prayer in the shape of a cave in the same complex.

St. Philomena church is located in Mysore. Lourdes Nagar, Ashoka Rd, Lashkar Mohalla, Mysuru, Karnataka 570001. It was constructed in 1936 using a Neo Gothic style and its architecture was inspired by the Cologne Cathedral in Germany. This is one of the tallest churches in ASIA.

Peaceful, clean, well maintained. I liked the architecture and the overall cleanliness of the place. The stained glass architecture inside the cathedral is especially good. Unfortunately, photography inside the cathedral is forbidden. But then, it is a place of worship and permitting photography inside would not be a good idea. Photography inside temples is also forbidden for the same reason. Please respect the sanctity of the cathedral and follow the rules.
