About St Michael's & All Angels Church
St Michael's & All Angels Church is a 19th century church in Sandakan, Sabah. It is one of the heritage buildings in Sandakan.
St Michael's and All Angels Church was the first building in Sabah to be built of stone. Work began in 1893, but it was only completed thirty years later. The building was designed by a New Zealander, B.W. Mountfort. Conscripted prisoners were used to build the church. The structure was built with a belian timberframe, followed by bricks and then stones. The stones came from nearby Kampung Buli Sim Sim. In addition, white stones were also imported from Hong Kong.
The nave and transepts were dedicated on 30 September 1906, in conjunction with the Michaelmas celebration.
