Niamkolo Church

Check out Niamkolo Church, a five-minute walk up the hill from Nkupi Lodge. It’s an old stone ruin that you can walk inside and around. It was built from 1895 to 1896 by the London Missionary Society, who had arrived in the town some ten years earlier to establish a mission. It was abandoned in 1908 when the missionaries all got sleeping sickness and moved away from the lakeshore.
