St. Paul's Church

St. Paul's Church is a historic Anglican church located in Ambala Cantonment, Haryana. Built in 1857 during British rule, it is one of the oldest churches in the region and now under the Church of North India. Notable for its Gothic Revival architecture, brick facade and tower, the church was damaged during the 1965 air raids and later restored. It remains an active place of worship and a heritage landmark of the cantonment.

Visitors can expect a historic brick church built in Gothic Revival style with pointed arches, stained glass windows, a tall bell tower and a simple, serene interior with wooden pews and altar. The church is set within a quiet compound with lawns and old trees in Ambala Cantonment. Visitors can view the exterior architecture, the restored interior, memorial plaques and attend Sunday services. The surroundings are calm and residential, typical of the cantonment area.

St. Paul's Church was constructed in 1857 by the British to serve the garrison at Ambala Cantonment, one of the largest British cantonments in India. Built in Gothic Revival style, it served the Anglican community of British officers and soldiers. The church building was damaged when Ambala was bombed during the Indo-Pak war in 1965, with its roof and tower affected, and was later restored. It is now administered by the Church of North India and stands as a colonial-era heritage structure.

The church is an active Christian place of worship under the Church of North India and holds regular Sunday services and festivals such as Christmas and Easter. It represents the colonial religious heritage of Ambala Cantonment and remains a community centre for the local Christian population and a heritage landmark for visitors interested in cantonment history and architecture.
