St. Paul's Church in Malacca

St. Paul's Church, located on St. Paul's Hill in Malacca, was built in 1521. It was initially constructed by a Portuguese nobleman who survived a sea storm and dedicated the church to the Virgin Mary. Later, it also served as a school. In 1641, the Dutch took Malacca from the Portuguese and renamed the church St. Paul's Church. St. Paul's Church was once used for military purposes, and now only ruins remain. However, it is still one of the important attractions in Malacca.
