St. John in the Wilderness Church, Anglican church in Dharamshala, India.
The stone structure features Gothic architecture with pointed arches, wooden interiors, and Belgian stained-glass windows set among cedar trees at Forsyth Gunj.
Built in 1852, the church endured the 1905 Kangra earthquake, which destroyed its bell tower, leading to a new bell installation in 1915.
The church belongs to the Diocese of Amritsar and contains the grave of Lord Elgin, who served as Viceroy of India from 1862 to 1863.
Visitors can access the church from Monday to Saturday between 7:00 AM and 6:30 PM, and on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
The church grounds feature a bell cast by Mears and Stainbank in England, which stands outside in the compound since 1915.
