All Saints Garrison Church in Lucknow


This is one of the most beautiful churches in Lucknow but can be called as a deserted one at the moment. Though you can find a couple of small congregations happening here in All Saints Garrison Church but it is non operational. It is surrounded by a big neglected compound having loads of bushes and wild trees. Only seldom Sundays you will find few people collecting here and carrying out some religious rituals. Though it is one of the most beautiful churches in the city but at the moment it is ironically a secluded place. If you want peace and solitude, this could be a right church to visit in Lucknow.
