Thiruvithamcode Arappally, Ancient Christian church in Kalkulam, India.
The Thiruvithamcode Arappally church contains three structural sections from the 17th century and features walls made from locally sourced stone materials.
The structure dates back to 57 AD when it was established as a place of worship, making it one of the earliest Christian buildings still operating.
The church maintains daily prayer services and functions as a central gathering place for Orthodox Syrian Christian communities in the Tamil Nadu region.
Located 20 kilometers from Nagercoil and 2 kilometers from Thuckalay, the church welcomes visitors throughout the year for religious services and historical tours.
The church walls display specific stone chiseling methods that indicate possible international architectural influences from the 1500s.
