St. John’s Church

Dating back to the end of the 18th century, St. John’s Church stands as a significant historical landmark in Kolkata, India. Funded largely by a public lottery and constructed by the East India Company, it was the first Anglican cathedral in the country. The church served as the seat of the Anglican Church until 1847, when St. Paul’s Cathedral was built. Today, visitors can explore this early colonial structure, which offers a glimpse into the architectural and religious history of the region.
