The red brick church is a blend of [[Architecture of the Netherlands|Dutch]]-[[Architecture of Kerala|Kerala]] architecture on the scenic banks of [[Ashtamudi Lake|Lake Ashtamudi]]. Now the church is in a deserted state. The only Christian family in the locality is looking after the affairs of this Church. The annual church festival is conducted with the help of Hindu population residing in the area.
