St Mary Church

Century old St Mary's Church is located near the Golf Course in Gulmarg. Its Victorian architecture is a wonder. Appearing like a small countryside chapel, it has brownstone walls that add to its old look.

It is most sparkling in winter, especially when it is battling snow. The church is counted among the top attractions of Gulmarg and is one of the most peaceful places in the city.

Its wooden walls beautifully decorated, and the ceiling covered with green tiles. Inside are frescoes depicting scenes from the Holy Bible.

When viewed from afar, its charm is unparalleled the stained glass artwork that adds to its beauty.

The only way to reach the church is by trek, as it is situated on a lush green field and surrounded by golf courses on three sides and a mountain on the fourth.

According to historical sources, the church was built in the typical British style in 1902. Its façade was upgraded in 2003 when the church was first renovated.

After the renovation work done in 2003, first Christmas mass was organised after 14 years. Regular mass is not held here now a days.
