I did not see much Christian architecture, just an Armenian church in Dhaka.

Armenian Church, Dhaka

From the Armenian Church, Dhaka entry in Wikipedia:

The Armenian Church (also known as Armenian Apostolic Church of the Holy Resurrection) is a historically significant architectural monument situated in the Armanitola area of old Dhaka, Bangladesh. The church bears testimony to the existence of a significant Armenian community in the region in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was built in 1781.

The church has a nice graveyard around it with old grave markers, some in Armenian script.
