History
Mussoorie Christ Church, which was built in 1836, is thought to be the Himalayan region's oldest church. It is located on a little hillside just above the Kasmanda Palace. This location is easily accessible on foot. Private donations were used to construct the fascinating structure of this church by British residents. On November 29, 1970, the government designated the Christ Church to be a component of the Church of North India.
