Christ Church Malacca is a historical monument that stands as a testament to Malaysia's colonial past. Built by the Dutch in the 18th century, it originally served as a Dutch Reformed Church before being consecrated as an Anglican church. It is renowned for being the oldest functioning Protestant church in Malaysia. The church's architecture is a reflection of Dutch colonial style, with a simple rectangular layout and a facade that is now famously painted red, a color scheme that has become emblematic of Malacca's Dutch-era buildings.
