A white, very standard-sized church, Greek cross-style, with a very striking spire, single-tower building, towering space inside, few people, good to sit in.

St. Andre's Church is Singapore's most famous church, located on the high ground of the city center and has a history of more than 100 years. This white Gothic church is famous for its high spires and sacred atmosphere, attracting many newcomers and tourists to visit. The exterior of St. Andre's Church uses a bright white color, which is one of its most proud features. It is said that this white paint is a practical and beautiful plaster made by grinding the shells into a ash, adding protein and sugar to a paste, and then soaking into the soft coconut shell. It is coated on the surface of the building, it is not easy to crack, and it is white and glossy. Overall, St. Andre's Church has become one of Singapore's landmarks with its unique architectural style and sacred atmosphere.

[View] St. Andre's Church is the largest church in Singapore. It is a white Gothic church with white walls and blue sky, and it is very beautiful. [Fun] There is a three-sided stained glass window behind the screen, showing people the exquisite and gorgeousness of this church. [Cost-effective] This church is currently free to visit, and the price is super high 👍 worth a visit.

St. Andre's Church, the first largest Anglican church in Singapore, was designed and built in 1856 by Colonel Lonard McPherson to replace the old church built in memory of Sir Stanford Raffles, and the whole building belongs to the early British Gothic architecture. This white gothic church, high spires directly into the blue sky, stands in the surrounding high-rise buildings, very noble temperament, many local Singaporean newcomers will choose to take wedding photos here. Since the landing of Governor General Sir Raffles in 1819, Singapore has taken the pace of modernization, with a rapid influx of immigrants and a variety of religious cultures. The original purpose of the church was to take care of the British diaspora, to give them a temple of worship, and later gradually transformed into a message to the local people of the gospel.

The location of the church is very easy to find. It's easy to see from the city hall stand, but it's also surrounded by high-rise buildings, so it's easy to circle the surrounding high-rise buildings when taking a view. This church gives people a sense of holiness. It is a typical English church style. The pure white church feels very suitable for marriage. The locals recommended another famous church, Amenia Church, not far from St Andrew. It's just a highway away. If you're interested, you can also visit it. Walking straight ahead two roads is the National Gallery of Art of Singapore (see Fig. 5). Don't miss out on friends who are interested in it.~~

St. Andre's Church, just near the hotel we stayed in, went in and strolled around, the pure white spire is solemn, built in 1823, and it is also one of the first batch of buildings during the landing period of Sir Raffles. It has a history of more than 200 years. The colored glass windows inside the church are very beautiful. Large pipe organ, there is a small garden behind the church, the fish pond is very beautiful goldfish, sitting in the church for a while, people feel very quiet
