Taking a pause from sightseeing in Malacca (PORTUGUESE SETTLEMENT) or Melaka, the historic gem of Malaysia, we found ourselves diving into local cuisine and switching hotels, all while giving our legs a much-needed break. Our adventure resumed with renewed energy, revealing meaningful and captivating sights that made us feel like explorers from a distant land, in this state.
Christ
Church
Christ
Church Malacca is a notable historical landmark in Malacca, Malaysia,
showcasing Dutch colonial architecture. Built between 1741 and 1753, this
red-bricked church commemorates a century of Dutch rule and serves the local
Protestant community. Its Dutch design, original handmade pews, and an early
18th-century brass Bible add to its charm. We spent time inside, offering
prayers and absorbing the serene atmosphere. The church’s tranquility provided
a reflective pause, though our exploration soon continued. Don't miss the
nearby clock tower, a significant historical feature connected to Christ
Church.
