Remains of Vypeekotta Seminary


The remains of Vypeekotta seminary are being preserved from the year 1935 since the discovery of many stone inscriptions from a nearby Church compound  It is believed that the seminary to teach  ceremonies to the priests of Malabar was established by Portuguese along with the Holy cross church nearby which was later renovated. The Holy cross church is still functional. Some of these inscriptions which were found is fixed in the church compound.
