Inside the church you can go, if you want to sit on a bench. At the entrance, church paraphernalia and souvenirs with symbols of Malaysia and Malacca are sold, the money from the sale of which goes to the maintenance of the church. There are also several old Dutch graves. Despite the fact that inside at the entrance there are signs asking not to take photos, this warning applies mainly to the place of sale of church goods and souvenirs.
🕐 Working hours: the church is open to all from 09:00 to 17:00 daily. Services are held at 08:30( in English), 10:30, 16:30 and 17:00.
