St Xavier’s is a colonial era Church established in 19th Century on the Hill Station of Thandiani, Abbotabad

The church was established in 1874 by Christian Missionaries working in NWFP

Thandiani's St Xavier's Church, though modest in scale, exhibits clear elements of the Gothic architectural style, albeit in a simplified form

 It was intended to serve the relatively small British Christian community residing in Thandiani during the colonial period

The Church is under the management of Diocese of Peshawar. However, it is not functional at the moment

Characteristic features of the Gothic ecclesiastical style are evident in the building's design, including its pointed windows, verticality, and a voluminous central hall

A defining element of the structure is its gable roof, a type of pitched roof commonly associated with Gothic architecture.

The pointed arches that frame both the entrance and the windows are typical of Gothic design, with the entrance featuring a low-height, pointed arch recessed by a series of architraves

 Its style is reminiscent of other colonial-era churches in the region, particularly the church at Nathia Gali, which shares similar architectural features

Exposure to the elements, combined with a lack of regular maintenance, has left the church in a fragile state. Immediate restoration efforts are needed to preserve this important piece of colonial and religious heritage.
