History
St. Andrew's Church was built in 1883 during the British Raj to serve the Protestant community, primarily Scottish Presbyterians, residing in Dalhousie. Constructed in the neo-Gothic architectural style, the church features typical elements like pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and tall stained-glass windows depicting biblical scenes. It served as a vital religious and social center for the British community during the colonial era. Today, the church remains an active place of worship and a significant historical landmark, attracting visitors with its beautiful architecture and peaceful atmosphere.
