The church is a Gothic style, the two rows of stone pillars in the church are supported by milky white domes, the lights are high, and the candles are shining. Han white jade statue of Jesus, Virgin Mary, Joseph. There are 14 hard road statues on both walls, elegantly furnished and solemnly decorated. #Chongqing Travel# In 1917, more than 50 meters of high clock tower was built in front of the church gate, and the spire of the clock tower was 18 meters high, which highlighted the upright and towering Gothic architectural style. The bell tower is placed in the law to produce large self-tone bells and large Admiralty Bells. 🎞 It is recorded that the church altar was blown up by Japanese aircraft at 3 pm on May 4, 1939, and the church was bombed by Japanese aircraft in May 1940, but the bell tower was solid and undamaged. (During the Anti-Japanese War, anti-aircraft alarms were installed at the top of the church bell tower, Japanese aircraft were found, and the alarm was issued to the public in advance) In August 1946, it cost 30 million churches to repair, and it can accommodate 800-1000 people to participate in religious activities. 🎚 According to reports: Joseph Hall, like Beijing Wangfujing Cathedral, Shanghai Xujiahui Church, and Lushan Church, has a high reputation at home and abroad, especially in Europe and the United States.
