St. Michael and All Angels Church in Blantyre, built between 1888 and 1891, is one of Malawi's earliest permanent Christian churches. Designed by Rev. David Clement Scott without formal architectural training, the church was constructed using locally made bricks, featuring a Latin cross layout, arches, domes, and flying buttresses. It stands on the site of the original Scottish mission and is part of the Church of Central Africa, Presbyterian. A plaque on the church commemorates a 19th-century longitude calculation of Blantyre. The surrounding area includes a historic clock tower and buildings once used for education, healthcare, and printing.

Structures were beautiful and nice, but staff asked us to contribute money so many times, which was too much.
