St. George's Anglican Church, Penang, Malaysia

St. George’s Anglican Church is a beautiful and peaceful landmark in Penang. As one of the oldest Anglican churches in Southeast Asia, it carries a strong sense of history and grace. The white colonial architecture is elegant and well preserved, and the quiet surroundings make it a lovely place to pause and appreciate the heritage of the city. A meaningful stop for anyone exploring George Town’s historic sites.

Salam sejahtera... greetings... Magnificent... Staff at heritage center very friendly and welcoming... A must visit place in Penang..

The church was barricaded and was under renovation when we visited, so we couldn't enter inside. We walked around and visited the Francis Light Memorial. Realised the museum was closed after 12pm. We only spend less than 10 mins there. We were a little disappointed. But the building looks gorgeous from the outside.

Had a snarky experience with the staff at heritage centre when i was doing the stamps, she did say hello and i did say hello back maybe softly… i proceeded to do the stamps as most places would allowed to do so… without saying much, was placed at the table and i requested as she came by if i could stamp on personal book.. she replied back” u already stamped u must ask first mah” Coming from a Christian background myself i was pretty shocked at her reply and response… shouldnt u be inviting and receptive not showing attitude those who come to the holy area regardless of who they are… even if i am a tourist who came so far to visit this place and coming from Anglican school myself I get it that maybe she wanted me ask for her permission … but look at my perspective i came here late afternoon from further north and with its short opening time 9-1pm … this was the only stamp i was left incomplete since i came at 4-5pm .i was disappointed made a morning trip at 9am this indian lady shove me her attitude back for my morning endeavours… at 945am Please do reflect that the stamps are part of a travelers journey and should be freely accessible to all …. Not frowned upon as if is their personal property is supposed to be a fun journey until at St George church

Some work was being done when we visited but there is another beautiful church next door that can be visited too

Part of the heritage trail (temples, churches, mosques), the Protestant graveyard and the Church of the Assumption are just further ahead. When we arrived at the temple, we noticed it seemed to be under construction, and no one else was around. We would have loved to enter the church, but unfortunately there was no information displayed regarding church operation timings. We took to exploring the courtyard and came across a beautiful pagoda-like structure in front of the church. The church is dripping in elegance and walls are almost pristine white. A very beautiful building, drop by and have a look if you’re in the area.

Seems to be under major renovation. A pity we didn’t get to visit the inside but glad to witness this majestic church from outside.

We've been here, even though we only see from the outside. Unfortunately there is no misa in the church, maybe we are allowed to watch it. The building is cool, maintained very well with the age of the building that has been hundreds of years. Salute to the Penang government & church administrators.
