Singapore | The largest church - St. Andrew's Cathedral

Singapore's largest church. The oldest Anglican church in England. It's the "St. Andrew's Church". ⛪Built around 1835 Later, there were two reconstruction efforts. One time in 1842, the reason is unknown. But it was damaged twice by lightning strikes after its construction. Resulted in closure in 1852 and subsequently demolished. This one was built in 1856. Gothic architectural design style has been preserved until today. ⛪In 1973, it was listed as a national monument in Singapore. ⛪️The St. Andrew's Cathedral is the largest church in Singapore and is listed as an important cultural heritage. It has a beautiful Gothic architectural style and exquisite stained glass inside, making you feel like you're in Europe for a moment! The whole building exudes a Goethean atmosphere, and the pure white architecture gives people a sense of sanctity. Although it is not as spectacular as many cathedrals in Europe, from another perspective, after all, this was a building from the colonial period of Singapore's past, and its historical significance outweighs its appearance. The interior of the church is very beautiful. Although it is not as luxurious and magnificent as the Prague Cathedral in the Czech Republic, it gives people a simple and peaceful feeling without too much pressure. ⛪Choose a spot, sit down and feel the atmosphere, while admiring the stained glass windows on both sides. The exquisite glass craftsmanship creates unique patterns on each window, representing the four authors of the Gospels. ✍️It is said that more than 100 years ago, when this church was being built, there was a group of Indian prisoners with architectural knowledge among the workers. They brought ancient Indian architectural methods to Singapore, mixing seashell lime with egg white, sugar, water and coconut shell to form a texture similar to gypsum, which is hard and not easily penetrated after drying, with a smooth and beautiful surface. ❤️St. Andrew's Church 🚇Transportation: Take the NS or EW line of the subway to "City Hall" station (NS25, EW13), and take exit B. 🕙Suggested playtime: 1 hour
