    History

    St. John's Church was built in 1863 during the British Raj, primarily for the Protestant British community residing in Dalhousie. The church's construction was funded by donations, including a significant contribution from Sir Donald McLeod, the then Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab. Over the years, it has served as a vital community hub and a place of worship. The church's architecture reflects the prevalent ecclesiastical style of the Victorian era, and it houses several memorial plaques commemorating prominent figures from Dalhousie's history.
