A provincial-level cultural heritage site in Fujian, located at No. 54 Xinmin Street, Chaoyang Road, Cangshan District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, was first established in the third year of the Tongzhi era (1864) and reconstructed in 1933. It is a Gothic-style church. At the northern end of the main hall, there is a bell tower over 20 meters high with a nearly 3-meter-high cross on the top. In the past, the bell tower’s chime could be heard over ten miles away. It remains one of the largest Catholic churches in Fujian and serves as the Catholic cathedral for both Fujian Province and Fuzhou City. The opening hours and business status are subject to the daily opening conditions.
