History

Standing tall, even after 100 years of its construction, is the Victorian architectural wonder of St Mary's Church, which is situated near the Golf Course in Gulmarg. More like a tiny countryside chapel in appearance, this church has grey stone walls that add to its vintage look. It looks the most scintillating during the winter season, especially when it is laden with snow. The church is counted among the top attractions of Gulmarg and is also one of the most peaceful places in the town. Its wooden walls are beautifully decorated and the roof boasts green tiles. There are frescoes inside, which depict scenes from the Holy Bible. When observed from a distance, its charm is unparalleled and the stained glass artwork stands out for its beauty.
