St Teresa’s Church

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:15:12

A fascinating missionary church built in 1929 by Swiss Jesuits, St Teresa was constructed to incorporate designs from a Bhutanese gompa. The wooden apostles resemble Buddhist monks, and carvings on the doors resemble the tashi tagye, eight auspicious symbols of Himalayan Buddhism. The church is off 9th Mile, about 2km from town. If it's locked, ask the next-door neighbours.
