A quiet church, tucked in the maddening hustle bustle of Chandni Chowk stands on the main road with a peaceful disposition observing the vigorous activities taking place in its vicinity. The church is known as the Central Baptist Church, which exhibits an example of the European style of architecture. Legend has it that the Baptist Missionary Society of London purchased some land near 'The Red Fort' with the intention of building a church to propagate Christianity. 

Consequently, The Central Baptist Church was established in the year 1814 which makes this church one of the oldest churches of Delhi and many historians even claim that it’s the oldest Christian Mission in the whole of North India.The well-preserved intricate carvings and the thick round pillars of the pristine white Church definitely speaks volumes about the rich European structural planning style.
