Dutch Church Chattokai

The Dutch Church at Chattokai is a 17th-century church that was originally built by the Portuguese in 1641 and later used by the Dutch, a layered history that reflects the peninsula’s turn from one colonial power to the next. Its simple lines and quiet setting make it a thoughtful stop for anyone interested in the island’s colonial heritage.

The church is about a 23-minute drive, roughly 11.0 km, from Ratnagiri Heritage Home Stay. Visit with respect, as some colonial churches are working places of worship or sensitive ruins.
