St. Stephen's Church, Udhagamandalam, Anglican church in Udhagamandalam, India.
St. Stephen's Church stands on Church Hill Road with Gothic architectural features, stained glass windows, and massive wooden beams supporting its structure.
The church foundation was laid by Governor Stephen Rumbold Lushington in 1829, coinciding with King George IV's birthday, and opened for public worship in 1831.
The church maintains regular services under the Church of South India administration while preserving British colonial architectural elements in the Nilgiris region.
The church building remains accessible through Church Hill Road, offering visitors opportunities to explore both the main structure and the adjacent cemetery.
Instead of traditional bells, the church uses four hammer structures on wooden planks that create musical sounds when pulled from ground level.
