Wolvendaal Church

Echoes of Faith & History

Wolvendaal Church

Wolvendaal Church, located in Pettah, Colombo, is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most significant Protestant churches. Consecrated in 1757, this Dutch-built masterpiece features sturdy kabok walls and Doric-style architecture. Inside, you’ll find colonial-era pews, memorial tablets, and the island’s oldest pipe organ; a living testament to faith, resilience, and over two centuries of Sri Lanka’s colonial heritage.
