#churches #100waysoftravel Christ Church Melaka, located in the historic city of Melaka, Malaysia, is a notable landmark with deep historical and architectural significance. Built in 1753 by the Dutch, it is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Malaysia and serves as a testament to the Dutch colonial era.

Its interior features classic colonial-style elements, including wooden pews and a simple yet elegant altar. The church's bell tower and historic organ add to its charm and historical appeal. Christ Church Melaka is not only a place of worship but also an important part of Melaka's rich cultural heritage, attracting visitors who are interested in history, architecture, and the region’s colonial past. Its well-preserved condition and historical significance make it a must-visit for anyone exploring Melaka.
