The Church was built in 1894. It is a lovely stone church, has a beautiful stained-glass window, nice wood work. It is not only a historical place but a living place where Christians still worship, have weddings, baptisms and funerals. The stained glass features David Livingstone with his sextant, his medicine chest and his two companions, with Lake Malawi in the background (I added a picture with that). You can climb (some steep wooden steps in the tower, and see around Livingstonia. We had a local guide when we were there who showed us around the church and around the University of Livingstonia.
