Penang Christian Cemetery, established in 1787, is the oldest cemetery in Penang. Originally serving the Protestant community, particularly those associated with the British East India Company, it ceased active burials in 1892. The cemetery is now maintained by the Heritage Trust of Penang and provides a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those who established the island as a trading post. Many interred here succumbed to tropical diseases at a young age. The grounds feature weathered headstones, ancient frangipani trees, and a neo-gothic gate, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere.
The place is so beautiful that I could not take my eyes off it. The place is a heritage building which has stunning architecture and the Victorian style walls are simply amazing. We visited the place on a weekday and it had a lot of people. But things were arranged in a proper way and we could have the tour nicely.
