Broken statue of Ambala Cantt Church

The Catholic Holy Redeemer Church of Ambala Cantt is built in the Gothic style in 1848 when the British shifted from Karnal to Ambala. At that time, its Priest was Italy’s Capucine Father Vinance.

It was later rebuilt in the year 1908. This church is three-storeyed with prayers and services held on the second floor.

On its top floor are three large bells, whose echoes were heard several kilometers away, but are no longer used.

During the prayer, British soldiers used to keep guns with them here, which is arranged in the bench. Even today it is in the same Gothic style as it was before.
