Brooklands Christian Guest Home

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brooklands Christian Guest Home is situated in Coonoor at an altitude of 1850 metres above sea level in the The Nilgiris District of Tamilnadu, South India. It is a full-board residential guest home operated by a Protestant trust mainly to provide a place of rest and relaxation to Evangelical Protestant missionaries on the field.

The main building is a striking example of early colonial architecture. It is known to have been built in the late 1800's and has been rumoured that it was intended for a potential royal visit. This is reflected in the turrets and tower on the north face of the building.

It is situated in green tea fields in spectacular scenery and enjoys year round temperate climate.

It is the last remaining Guest Home of the Nilgiri Christian Guest Homes Association.
