Pattumalai Church, a marvellous Roman Catholic Latin Rite Church, was designed by J P Bright. The architectural beauty of the structure amidst lush green tea plantations is a visual treat. In fact, the name ÐPattumalaiÓ, meaning a hill covered with silk, is an apt description of the attraction which is situated on an elevation and offers a splendid view of the plantations down the slope.
