Seen from afar, the Annai Vellangkanni church looks nothing like a typical church. The church's architecture has influences of Indian, Mughal, Tibetan, and Chinese and is clearly seen. The pagoda-like structure evokes feelings of looking at a Buddhist temple and is one of the finest examples of religious fusion and exemplifies Medan's religious harmony.
Annai Velangkanni is a Christian temple (Our Lady Of Good Health Church) which is ensconced within a beautiful designed Indo-Tamil exterior. This temple, built in 2005, has served as the best testament to the religious diversity present in Medan. It is a must visit for tourists interested in architecture.
