There are a number of tourist places in Medak Church. Medak is gifted with archaeological treasures and it was a crowded metropolis of Buddhist culture in ancient times. The main landmark of Medak is a church and the church was standing firm, tall amidst sylvan surroundings. This church is built on a large scale in solid white granite. This gothic structure is well famous for the large pointed stained glass windows.
Mr. Charles Walker Posnett, who is dedicated English missionary from England, was posted as the priest of Medak and continued for three years. Plenty of families approach the Reverend for food and blessings. Their pathetic condition of these people inspired him to build a church. The suggestion was right away accepted and as a result the church rose.
The church construction was started in the year 1914 and lasts for 10 years and completed on Christmas in the year 1924. The church is having capacity for accommodaton of 5000 people. It has a spired bell tower of 175 feet height. This church has stylish vaulting and large painted stained glass windows, which is the most fascinating feature of Church.
There is a picture book of the Bible for those who cannot read and it was created by the British artist, Sir O. Salisbury, which took 40 years to complete this book. The pictures glow actively and seems live. Each window here is a collection of many bits of painted glass which glued in a single piece and delicately set into the stone windows.
