  • Europe Along the Hooghly
    ICOMOS ISC SBH Study Tour 2017 to SBH in India 01.‐08.12.2017, Info Europe along the Hooghly Serampore (Danish), Chandannagar (French), Chinsurah (Dutch) and Bandel (Portuguese) Almost a century after Vasco da Gama landed on the West Cost of India (1498), the Europeans started making inroads in Bengal. Using Hooghly (also known as Ganga or Ganges) as the main source of navigation, they started making inroads in Bengal. Europe along the Hooghly River (Serampore, Chandannagar, Chinsurah and Bandel) Soon, European settlement started growing along the Hooghly River in the present day Hooghly District. Long before the British made Calcutta their stronghold, the Portuguese had settled in Bandel. They were closely followed by the Dutch in Chinsurah, Danish in Serampore and the French in Chandannagar. S. 1 ICOMOS ISC SBH Study Tour 2017 to SBH in India 01.‐08.12.2017, Info Bandel: Portuguese Stronghold Bandel Church “Our Lady of the Happy Voyage,” Bandel, Hooghly, West Bengal The Portuguese were the first Europeans to settle in Bengal and also have the distinction of building the first Christian Church in Bengal. The Church of Our Lady of the Happy Voyage was initially constructed in 1599 and demolished by the Mughals in 1632 and was rebuilt the same year. Sadly, the Church has been reconstructed several times and today represents a modern structure. It is popularly known as the Bandel Church. The word Bandel means ‘mast’ in Portuguese. The Bandel Church compound houses a mast, which was gifted by a Portuguese ship captain, after his ship was damaged in a storm in Hooghly.
