Danish Church
The Protestant church was once the centre for all European social and religious events. The church never had a Danish pastor, and was instead being managed by the Serampore Trio. The building is flat roofed, inside and out. Although the design is not particularly Scandinavian, but it reflects the designs of churches in Kolkata back then. The entrance has an open portico of twin columns under a broken-base pediment containing the royal monogram of Danish king Christian VII. Above the portico is a bell tower that also contains a clock. Its white spire is visible from as far away as Barrackpore on the opposite bank.
The former seat of government of Serampore, originally a home of Ole Bie, who built the Danish colony.
The first college in Asia to award a degree. It was built in 1818 by the Serampore Trio. The college compound contains a museum dedicated to William Carey.
An old temple where Henry Martyn lived for some months. He was a Cantabrigian priest, who arrived in Calcutta (Kolkata) as an East India Company chaplain. He lived in India for several years before going to Iran, and he died there at 31. He was considered an introvert and an intense character.
The famous Jagannath temple in Serampore, known for organising the oldest Ratha Yatra in Bengal, after the Puri Ratha Yatra. It is said to have been celebrated since 1396. It is a week-long festival and a grand fair is held at that time. People throng to have a share in pulling the long ropes (রস্যি rasyi) attached to the chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balarama and Subhadra on the journey from the temple to Mahesh Gundicha Bari and back within the eighth day.
