St. Paul's Church, Kandy, Anglican church in historical district of Kandy, Sri Lanka
St. Paul's Church stands west of the Temple of the Tooth, featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a magnificent stained glass window above the altar.
The church construction started in 1843 after Bishop Reginald Heber identified the need for a dedicated building, replacing services held in the King's Audience Hall.
The church maintains regular services in both English and Sinhala languages, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Kandy community.
The church holds Sunday services at 6:45 AM and 7:45 AM in English, while a Sinhala service takes place at 10:30 AM.
The building contains the sole pipe organ in Kandy, replaced in 2009 with an instrument from a Bradford church, making it potentially the largest in Sri Lanka.
