St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Kolenchery, Orthodox church in Kolenchery, India
The stone structure of St. Peter and St. Paul's Church displays traditional Kerala ecclesiastical architecture with intricate woodwork and stained glass windows.
The church was built in the 9th century CE by Thankan Mappila of the Kolenchery House, establishing a religious center for the Syrian Christian community.
The burial site of Mar Thoma VII in 1809 transformed this church into a significant pilgrimage destination for Orthodox Syrian Christians in Kerala.
The church administration follows the 1934 constitution as per the 2017 Supreme Court ruling, with regular services held for the Malankara Orthodox Syrian congregation.
The church derives its name from the Kolenchery family, descendants of Syrian settlers who arrived in 345 AD with Thomas of Cana.
