Dutch Church, Munroe Island

The Dutch Church in Munroe Island, Kollam is one of the ancient churches in Kerala.[1] The church was built by the Dutch in 1878. The red brick church is a blend of Dutch-Kerala architecture on the scenic banks of Lake Ashtamudi. Now the church is in a deserted state. The only Christian family in the locality is looking after the affairs of this Church. The annual church festival is conducted with the help of Hindu population residing in the area. It is a good example for the communal harmony existing in the God's own island (Munroe Island)[2]
