CHIJMES

The Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Middle Education School (CHIJMES) is a historic building complex in Singapore that began as a Catholic convent called the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ). The facility is located on Victoria Street in the Primary Area, Singapore's central business center, in the Downtown Core.

With an acquired Caldwell Home built in 1840–1841, an acquired Convent Orphanage house in 1855, the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Chapel in 1904, and an acquired hotel complex for the girls' school in 1933, the complex has been operated as a Catholic convent since 1852. Caldwell House, which now serves as a wedding venue, and the Gothic-style church, renamed CHIJMES Hall, which now serves as a function hall and wedding venue, have both been designated as national monuments. In 1996, the complex was renovated for commercial use as an eating, shopping, and entertainment center, complete with ethnic restaurants, stores, and a function hall that can host musicals, recitals, theatrical events, and weddings.

CHIJMES' amazing architectural design is, of course, still as fascinating as ever. In terms of beauty and style, it definitely stands out. It's no surprise that it's one of the most beautiful historical sites in Singapore.
