St. Andrew's Church (The Kirk)

This is a 200 year Old Church. Created by Scotland People. The Architecture is awesome 😎💯. This is not a big Church, but the way they developed & Maintained is Good 😊. We were visited during the Christmas ⛄. That was really Nice 🙂. Inside that, the Old Piano & Flute instruments are there. You can Multilingual people over there. Also, it's very near to the Egmore Local Railway Station & Egmore Metro Station. The Transportation also very easy. Church has the Coutres Houses for people who do Worship ( Father's). So, if you have the time , you just try to visit 😉. Small place but, Worth to visit 😁. Also, the church has parking .

Probably one of the best architectural marvels amongst church buildings in the world. The grandeur and enormity of the structures especially the pillars, both outside and inside the church make you feel humble and gives you a perspective of the place that you hold with this life in this multiverse. Services are all in English and western styled. Unlike the recent churches that make church service an English rock show service at this church is calm and soul stirring. Many good old people to speak to and get volumes of knowledge. A must visit place for any person who is in search of himself or as a traveling stop.

Today (Saturday), I visited St. Andrew’s Church with the intention of praying. However, the security personnel at the main gate did not allow me to enter. I was informed that the church remains closed on Saturdays and is open only on Sundays. This was surprising to me because, according to the information available online, the church is shown as open. This mismatch caused confusion and disappointment. I kindly request the church management to look into this matter. It would be helpful if the correct visiting hours could be updated online, so that visitors are well-informed in advance.

Beautiful and amazing 200 year old church. Maintained very well. When I visited routine maintenance/painting was going on. The large compound is very neatly kept. The car parking area is tarred and properly marked. Other buildings in the compound are also maintained well. Good commentable work by all concerned in keeping this old church and surroundings in very good condition.

It was built to serve the Scottish community in Chennai. Building started 6 April 1818 and the church was consecrated in 1821. It was designed and executed by Major Thomas de Havilland and Colonel James Caldwell of the Madras Engineers. The body of the church is a circle, with rectangular compartments to the east and west. The circular part 24.5 m in diameter, is crowned by a shallow masonry dome colored a deep blue. This is painted with golden stars and supported by 16 fluted pillars with Corinthian capitals. Dominating the altar is the pipe organ in dull green and burnished gold. Built in New Yorkshire, England, this instrument was installed in 1883. They have very good parking spaces.

One of the oldest churches in Chennai, with marvelous architecture. I think the church was also recently renovated and has a much better space now.

Wonderful church. Very busy, historic, regal, symbol of British Era. The devotees today are very proud of this place of worship, being kept in top condition. I gate crashed in to a wedding, the atmosphere was electric, have a glance. A must visit.

It was an amazing place with peace and relaxing time to spend when I visited that time they decorated the Christmas tree, having a big parking space near Egmore railway station , The church shows prominent features of Neoclassical architecture, it is inspired by St Martin-in-the-Fields in London.
