C.S.I St. Stephen's Church

This church is about 196 years old. The gate of this church, the garden, the trees, the stonework.All of this surprises us a lot. Another thing to mention is that the murals inside, especially the ones painted on the glasses, are very beautiful.Inside the church, there are special prayer books to write down, and Bible material is available here for free. This is also one of the most beautiful places in Ooty if you can sit inside the church and pray for 10 minutes in peace. There is a lot to see not only inside the church but also around it.The old tombs here are something to see outdoors. The tall tree and its background scenery are great for photography. There is space to park 10-30 cars at a time inside, as well as restrooms as needed. If possible, attend Sunday Mass without missing it. Since it is a place that is maintained with great care and beauty by the authorities,Each and every one of us who attend must maintain cleanliness, and that is also the responsibility of each and every one of us

The only reason it doesn't get all stars is cause I couldn't go inside. My fault but I still can't give it full marks without having seen all of it. But the outside and the cemetery was beautifully maintained and very calm. It felt really nice to be there!

Absolutely serene and outstanding. Easily some of the best stained glass work I have ever seen in one of the most iconic churches in India. The cemetery at the back is poignant reminder of the past and is atmospheric in its own way, with the trees and overgrowth. Am glad the whole space is well preserved.

Historic place with remnants of colonial era. Very elegant and divine church and surroundings. The cemetery is something everyone has to visit

One of the oldest structures in the Nilgiri hills. The Gothic colonial architecture, the stained glass artworks and serene atmosphere make this heritage site special.

St. Stephen’s Church – Ooty, is a peaceful and timeless place surrounded by tall trees. As I strolled around the premises, I felt deeply connected to the past — every corner seemed to hold a story. The wooden interiors, soft light through stained glass, and quiet atmosphere bring a rare sense of calm. Truly a must-visit spot for anyone seeking silence, history, and grace.

Very beautiful and quite old church center of the city Ooty. Walking distance form market. You can pray for your family writing prayer note. Free bible available in all regional language. Nice greenery garden outside church.

Loved the way it is situated and maintained by the managing team. Parking is an issue inside the premises. They should make a separate parking lot at neighbourhoods but not in premises. I was fortunate enough to witness the Sunday service there. Beautiful hymns and spirituality. One must visit the place and sit for a white to have the feel of the place. I was returning from Ramkrishna math and got dropped at church. Thanks to God
