St. Peter's Church, Malacca

St. Peter's Church is the oldest serving Catholic church in Malaysia and one of the major Malacca attractions for a large number of visitors during their historic tour to Malacca. Dating back to the Dutch rule, St. Peter's Church, Malacca is truly an architectural masterpiece reflecting a perfect blend of Oriental and Occidental styles.

St. Peter's Church, Malacca boasts of being the only church in Malaysia where the life-size alabaster statue of the Dead Lord before Resurrection is found. In 1710, the Portuguese descendants built the St. Peter's Church, Malacca on the land donated by a Dutchman. The church lies at the exterior of the administrative and trading center of Old Dutch Malacca and was the major place of worship for the Portuguese Catholics at the time. However, St. Peter's Church, Malacca today attracts a large number of people from all faiths across the globe.

The major attraction of St. Peter's Church, Malacca is a huge bell that is as old as 1608 and was produced in Goa. It is believed that the bell was brought here from one of the old churches gutted by the Dutch during their conquest in 1641. St. Peter's Church, Malacca bustles with colorful festivities and gaiety during the catholic celebrations held every year when a large number of tourists throng at the church.
