All Saints Church, Peshawar

All Saints’ Church (built 1883); located inside the Kohati Gate of the old walled city of Peshawar in Pakistan is an architecturally unique place of worship that bears a striking resemblance to an Islamic saracenic mosque with minarets and a dome.

The Church was opened on St. John’s Day, 27 December 1883. The foundation stone was laid by Captain Graves whose widow presented the brass desk on the Lord’s Table. A plaque on a wall records: “This church is erected to the Glory of God and dedicated to the memory of All Saints in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 1883.”

27 December 2008 marks the 125th anniversary of the church.
