Swedish Church, Kodaikanal
In the colonial period, lots of church building
activities were going on full space. British were the ones who are credited
with large number of church building activities. The Americans were not the
only non-British 'Europeans' to settle in Kodaikanal. They were joined by
Swedish and Germans.
Scarcely anything remains of the Swedish settlement
apart from an indication of its location on a map issued by Tamil Nadu Tourism
at the rather basic tourist office on PT Road, which is almost opposite a
small, super short-order restaurant called Pot Luck. The German
Missionary Church still stands alongside its separate wooden bell-tower and is
in good condition.
