The Immaculate Conception Church, Penang, founded in 1810. Church is more than 200 years old. This is even older than Sir Stamford Raffles founded Singapore. Nowadays, you can't see the sea from the Church. Perhaps back in 1810 when the Church was founded, the sea (about 300m away) was visible.
The external structure of the Church still looks good despite its 200 years history. It is located just next to Berjaya Penang Hotel.
Strangely, on a weekday morning, the Church only opens a small compartment with glass enclosure, for prayers. Not able to visit the historically significant aisle. The stain glass looks good.
