Yuncheng Catholic Church in Shanxi

Yuncheng Catholic Church is a historic religious building. The church was built during the Qing Dynasty, funded by local parishioners with more than 10 million yuan. The parishioners designed it themselves and built a self-sustaining Catholic complex, including a cathedral under the patronage of Francis. It combines Chinese and Western architectural styles and is famous for its unique architectural form and exquisite interior decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with exquisite murals and sculptures, displaying the unique charm of Catholic art. Because the church is built on a two-story high platform, it appears particularly tall and majestic. It was personally designed and supervised by local parishioners who understand architectural design, so it has a unique style. This is one of the more distinctive churches in the Shanxi region.
