Tangasseri cathedral, Kollam



An unusual blending of Portuguese, Dutch and British culture, architecture and life style made Tangasseri a unique and enviable place. The Pro-Cathedral, unique in its architecture, unfortunately is now a mere memory.

Tangasseri with its colourful history of conquests, invasions and colonization has an enviable place in the history of our country's quest for freedom.
The Dutch left Tangasseri in 1742 when they were defeated by the Travancore forces. Soon the Carmelites stepped in to revive the Catholic life in Tangasseri. In 1789 Bon Jesu Church was built by missionaries from Verapoly.
