Shettihalli Church, also known as the Holy Rosary Church, is a historic church located in Shettihalli village, near Hassan in the state of Karnataka, India.
The construction of Shettihalli Church began in 1860 by French missionaries, and it was completed in 1862. The church was built in the Gothic architectural style
What makes Shettihalli Church distinctive is its location. It was built on the banks of the Hemavathi River, and the church complex included a convent and a residential school. However, in the 1960s, the construction of the Gorur Dam as part of a hydroelectric project led to the flooding of the area. As a result, the church and the nearby structures were partially submerged in water.
