Medak Church one of
the finest examples of
Gothic architecture in India.
The Medak church, the single largest
diocese in Asia and second largest in the world after the Vatican, is a
priceless heritage. The main tower of the cathedral is 173 feet high and
the structure is believed to be one of the finest examples of Gothic
architecture in India.
This famous Cathedral was built with love and crafted to perfection. As
the legend goes this church was born out of a famine that struck Medak
during world War I. Reverend Charles Walker Posnett was posted as
Reverend at Medak during that time. Moved by the plight of the people
due to the unprecedented famine that lasted for three years, he proposed
to build a great church at Medak in the year 1914. It took ten
continuous years to complete this beautiful piece of architecture. With
its massive dimensions the church can accommodate as many as 5000 people
at a time.
The main tower of the cathedral is 173 feet high and the structure is
believed to be one of the finest examples of
Gothic architecture in India. |
