  • This church was Destroyed by Hyder ali and then by Tipu sultan, The christians round the area were captured raped and killed the surviving were sent to Seringapatam, through the Jamalabad fort route. very few survived after the captivity of 15 years was over, The church was rebuilt after the death of tipu. Here is the linnk to read more, My grandma used to tell me stories of tipu and hyderali when i was small, surely these stories were not good once, now i know it happened for real. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captivity_of_Mangalorean_Catholics_at_Seringapatam
