Kowloon Union Church

The Union Church built in 1927 should be the last Gothic Revival church in Hong Kong. It looks like a brick-concrete structure, but the roof is a rare all-wood beam structure in Hong Kong. It can be described as a model of Chinese and Western architecture. The overall look is red brick walls, with gray granite steps and window frames, with a semicircular apse and a three-story tower. It is listed as a legal monument in Hong Kong.

Walking out of Starbucks Coffee, you can see Union Hall on the opposite side. The red brick exterior wall and European-style architectural style are quite distinctive in the downtown area. After walking outside the door, it turned out to be a construction in the 1930s, but it has now become a protected cultural relic.

Jiulong Union Church is located diagonally across from Diocesan Girls’ College. This is a small red brick church. It was founded in 1927, but during the Japanese Occupation period, the building was destroyed and the church was converted into a stable for the Japanese army. It was not reopened as a church until 1947. Today, the church is also the place where couples in Hong Kong hold their weddings. Originally, they were going to visit that day. However, a couple happened to be preparing for the wedding ceremony, so they said a blessing to the couple, but unfortunately did not see the inside of the church.

Exit B2 of Metro Jordan Station. As soon as we left the station, Kowloon Union Church appeared in sight. The red brick house, when approaching, you can smell the fragrance of green grass, which is the same color as the dark green light from the window.

Established in 1927, it is an English-speaking trans-denominational Christian church in Hong Kong. It is now listed as a first-class historical building in Hong Kong. Kowloon Union Church is a member church of the Hong Kong Council of Christians. It was proposed to be listed as a declared monument on June 6, 2017.
