Wolfendhal Church, Colombo

Wolfendhal Church, whose name comes from a place called Wolvendaal, was built in the eighteenth century, and is the oldest Protestant church in the country and a vestige of Dutch architecture, representing a symbol of unity between Dutch and Sri Lankan cultures. It was established in 1749 as a replacement for the old Roman-Catholic church, on a hill that offers amazing views of the city. The church is designed in a Doric style, with its base constructed in the form of a cross and the roof resembling a dome.
