Christ Church was the first English church to be built in North India and the third in India. It is in the Hazratganj area, just a little over a kilometer from Sharma Ji Ki Chai.
Sadly, the gate to the Church premises was locked; the caretaker informed me that it opens only on Sundays.
When the Christ Church was built, it was called St. Mary’s Church. It was attacked during the First War of Indian Independence like all other British establishments were.
The first people to be buried in the Church cemetery were those that fell during the 1857 War. Standing at the gate, I tried to imagine what the interior would be like. It certainly looked as if it could accommodate 100+ people!
Given that I could only look at the façade, I turned my sights towards the bell tower. It comprises a spire with a cross at the top. This was an eye turner!

My biggest achievement to visit such ancient and historical place in Lucknow. It was built in 1860.
Christ Church is a historical building and a school located in the G.P.O Hazratganj. It is the first English church in Northern India and the third in the country. Best place to visit mostly in night for the good vibes.

At its glory. This ancient architectural marvel weathered but still gives a positive and soothing vibe when visited at night.
