Christ Church of Malacca, Dutch Square, Malaysia

---

Christ Church was built to replace the aging Bovenkerk (St. Paul's Church). It took 12 years to build and was originally painted white. In 1911 it was painted the red colour seen to match the neighbouring Stadthuys building to give the main section of the city a distinctive colour.
