Loved the church

This is one of the Oldest church in Chennai. Which is Recently renovated. Commonly called as Luz Church

Nice and Peaceful place. Best time to go there is in the morning. Sitting in an old quaint church with the chirping of beautiful birds is a different feel... The place was once a very dense mangrove forest when the Portuguese visited..

I happen to visit the place as I attended Christmas Service in 2023 by Kuki Worship Service, Chennai. The church is rich in its architecture and design. It look impressive. The church has Hall and dinner hall too. So I mean the church is well equipped with infrastructure and amenities. The place is also clean which adds my likeness to it.

This is really a very old church. We can see all the proof for that inside of this Church itself. This Church is really divine and have a peaceful surrounding despite being in the middle of busy Chennai. This Church also has parking facilities for bike, car and even vans. There is also a community hall inside the church campus. Must visit place for all the tourists of Chennai and also for the Catholics it's a very holy place that creates miracles. So please do visit and get the blessings from Our Lady of Light!

Oldest church in Chennai. Beautiful place of prayer. Small church built by Portuguese.

Very Beautiful Church in Chennai city. It feels so peaceful and pleasent to worship. I personally can feel the presence of Our Lady of Light. Very powerful church. Built by the Portuguese missionaries in the year 1516 AD. Recently the church was renovated in 2019 under the guidance of Rev. Fr. Petter Thumma, the Parish Priest. The church celebrated it's 500 years in 2016.

Luz Church - the Our Lady of Light Shrine - first built in 1516 - oldest church and linked to the St Thomas Basillica complex. Kept in immaculate condition by the staff with a rich history. The gardens too is well maintained and very peaceful.

A beautiful very old (1516) Portuguese Style Church with lovely architecture. We visited the Church during evening Prayers and felt energised. It has a nice and well maintained premises on a small and silent lane in the heart of the city.

Wow!! One of the very old Catholic Church in Tamilnadu. Beautiful Architecture,⛪

One of the oldest and finest church in chennai. 506yrs old. The word 'luz' is Portuguese word which means light or brightness. As per me it is a best place to visit especially non prayer times which is filled with full of silence.

Very cute little church with an extremely serene environment. It is also at a walking distance from Mylapore.

Very peaceful and calm place. Well maintained with natural atmosphere. One of the best Marian Shrines in India. Our Lady of Luz Church, Mylapore, Chennai. 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

Peaceful prayerful place, old world charm design built nearly 500 years ago. The original cross of the church kept carefully. Drinking water, restroom even ramp access. Limited parking for cars. Narrow one way street . Pictures explain the original of Church.

One of the beautiful churches in Chennai. The front side inside the church with golden looks so elegant. I visited at Sunday evening and it was English service.

Amazing place for Worship.Makes you dwell in the 500 years of history.Every thing in place has a story to tell and it takes you completely out of the busy Chennai life style and makes you feel that you are in a different place altogether.Must visit

Visited the church during a typical Saturday afternoon, it was peaceful, there was serenity, one could feel the calmness and comfort in the air and atmosphere inside. A rich and historic place of worship which has been standing tall for over 500 years in the heart of chennai is a must visit place for anyone seeking for some peace. The place has ample parking spaces for both 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers and is easy to navigate and locate from the maps as well.

The oldest church of Chennai. The church is so beautiful. Has good a green cover around the church. It’s so peaceful just being there.

A must visit

very beautiful and relatively small church within. its built in 16th century. It is less talked about (less famous) that i lived in mylapore (muthu street) for 3 years which is in between this church and santhome , but i had visited this church only 4 times ( came to know about it only after 2 years or so). Where else i would visit santhome church almost every day

Historic place in chennai. Well maintained 500 yrs old CHURCH. Good part about Catholic churches in Chennai is that it's open for public to give a visit whenever the main gate in open. I was around Mylapore for someother work and gave a visit. It was open

Probably the oldest church in Madras! Small, strongly built and neatly maintained.

One of the oldest church in Chennai. Almost 500+ years old church with beautiful Portugal style architecture.

This is one place where one feels that you are amidst the light of our Mother Mary. Always have a very good feeling every time I put my foot into this blessed church. Ave Maria.......

Church of Our Lady of Light is a Roman Catholic shrine in Chennai, India. It is commonly called as Luz Church by the locals, which derives from the Portuguese name Nossa Senhora da Luz. Built in 1516 by the Portuguese, it is one of the oldest Churches in the city and its foundation stone marks as one of the oldest European monuments in India.

Church of Our Lady of Light (பிரகாச மாதா ஆலயம்) is a Roman Catholic shrine in Chennai. It is commonly called Luz Church which derives from the Portuguese name Nossa Senhora da Luz. Luz means light in Portuguese. Built in 1516, it is one of the oldest Churches in the city and its foundation stone marks as one of the oldest European monuments in India. This part of Mylapore is believed to have been a thick forest. Thus the church gets its local name as "Kaatu Kovil" (காட்டுக் கோவில்) and to this day, its address carries the name of Kaatukoil Garden. The church was damaged by the forces of Golconda between 1662 and 1673 and during Haider Ali's invasion of the city forts between 1780 and 1782. The British East India Company Forces occupied the Luz Parish Residence for some years. The church is located inside the compound of the famous St Isabel's Hospital in Luz, Mylapore and the road leading to the church is called Luz Church Road.
