This place was a surprising stop on my and my boyfriend's walk through the historical center of Galle. I think that this church is much more interesting than e.g. Galle's lighthouse. Stop by to checkout architecture, atmosphere, and to take a few pictures.

The church's beautiful from the outside but what a disappointment once you get in. We had the feeling that locals tried to turn it into the tourist attraction, no one respects the codes of a visit in a church (shoulders not covered, silence not observed). The person who's watching over people inside the church doesn't seem to realize that he's not supposed to entertain female tourists but rather to make sure that people behave. Out of that the church has quite some charm but there's a lot of mold everywhere in it, that's really something that ought to be fixed.

Viewed as a single item you would have to say not particularly impressive, but along with the fort, other religious buildings, houses and hotels that make up the old town it is just a very pleasant old church worthy of popping in and adding a donation towards it's upkeep.

Built in the 19th century during Dutch rule, this is an attractive and colonial church in the fort enclave at Galle. Entry is free (although it is not always open) and a donation to support the restoration is encouraged. If you're exploring the fort, you'll almost certainly pass by the church on... Church Street. Worth a look at the very least from the outside.

This is an interesting church with Victorian Gothic Revival style built since 19th century during the Dutch Colonial era. What is intriguing to me is the design of the coloured glass in the church which blend the artwork into religious building. No entrance fee, but donation is encouraged. Worth a short visit when walking around Galle Old Town.

In need of renovation (leave a donation!) this is a standard Victorian church. If you miss it you won’t miss much, but as you’ll inevitably walk by, you might as well stop in.

The thrust of the title is well known to those in charge of the church as there is signage requesting donations to assist with needed repairs. I suspect the dark green in the upper reaches is mold. Some of the stained glass windows are missing. I think it will take a major infusion of rupees to do the necessary work. The exterior has a bit of a different look in this Anglican church with its short steeple. What is not clear with this Romanesque building is if it was built over the site of the old gallows, a juxtaposition if there every was one. It was nice that it was open.

We dropped in for the 11am Christmas Service at this old Anglican Church. The simplicity of the service was touching. A handful of foreigners seated in the choir stalls and an English speaking priest who kept it succinct and perfectly ‘on message’ for Christmas. While the paint is peeling off the walls, the stained glass shone brightly in the Sri Lankan sunlight. A beautiful experience that will stay with us.
