Schwartz Church

Schwartz Church is a church situated in Thanjavur, India. Constructed by the Danish missionary Christian Friedrich Schwarz in 1779, the church is a plain building with few distinctive features.

Within the precincts of the church is a 1797 sculpture of Schartz on his death-bed with the Thanjavur Maratha king Serfoji II and the missionary Guericke beside him. Schartz used to live in a house to the north-west of the church which has since been converted into a school.

Though there is nothing much great about the artistic work, the church is still operational under the CSI Trichy-Tanjore Diocease.

 

It is good to attend the morning service which is conducted in English, every Sunday at 7:00 am.

The Thanjavur Municipal Library, Sivaganga Park and Brihadeshwarar Temple are also situated within the precincts of the Church.
