St Michael's and All Angels Church

St Michael's and All Angels Church is a historic Anglican stone church on Elton Hill in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Built between 1893 and 1906 under Rev. William Henry Elton, it is the oldest stone church in Sabah and a key stop on the Sandakan Heritage Trail. Notable for its white stone walls, stained-glass windows and hilltop setting, the church survived World War II and remains an active place of worship and heritage landmark.

Inside and outside they can see stone walls built from imported and local stone, stained-glass windows, memorial plaques, and a simple nave still used for worship. The grounds offer views over Sandakan Bay and town, with information boards about the church history and the Sandakan Heritage Trail.
