The Holy Rosary Church, known locally as the Kalawar Church has stood on this site since King Rama 1 granted the land to Portuguese descendants in 1786, 4 years after the formation of Bankok as the new capital of Thailand. The present building is the church's 3rd re-incarnation and was constructed in Neo Gothic style between 1891-1898.
