Hills and valleys and the famous St.Thomas Church are main attractions of Ayroor.St. Thomas Latin Catholic church stands against the serene and scenic backdrop of Ayroor-Hariharapuram village, fondled by the incessant breeze blowing from springs, streams and paddy fields, and cradled by the rhythmic murmurs from Edava- Nadayara backwaters. Named after Christ’s most reasonable disciple, St. Thomas, it showers God’s blessings to all who comes in its vicinity since its inception in 1911. As it lies on the south- west tip of Thiruvananthapuram Latin Arch Diocese, on the boarder line of Trivandrum- Kollam districts, this church had been a part and parcel of Kollam Diocese, till 1937. The Christian tradition and saga of this village could be traced even to two centuries back. Much before the inception of the present church, there existed at a near-by place called ‘Kayalpuram Pandakashala’,a thatched church since 1840, which is said to have, somehow, burnt down in 1895.
