Wuhu Catholic Church Review

The Catholic Church here is a typical Gothic twin tower building. There are two angels guarding the door. It is said that the inside is still relatively beautiful. The Wuhu side is also a relatively open city in Anhui. The lights at night are relatively beautiful.

The Catholic Church in Wuhu is on the side of the road in Yugengshan Square. This side is said to be a Catholic Church of a relatively large scale in China, but unfortunately it was already night when it came, so it was not open, only to watch outside.

Wuhu Catholic Church is not far from the river. The place is not big and it is very distinctive. The architectural pattern has obvious characteristics. The surrounding environment is relatively quiet. You can enter the church. If you are not on Sunday, there are almost no people. You can take pictures. It's good.

Passing by, did not open the door, took a photo outside, the nearby river view is good.

The Catholic Church of Wuhu, designed by the French priest, was built in 1895, facing the Yangtze River. Its architecture is Roman style. Its scale in East China is second only to that of Xujiahui Catholic Church in Shanghai. It commands the whole Jiangnan diocese at that time and is a key cultural relic protection unit in China. The Catholic Church is a brick-and-wood structure with a cross. There are two upright bell towers on each side of the Church. The Church is open to the public free of charge.

The Catholic Church of Wuhu is an excellent historical building in modern times in Wuhu. It has a history of 100 years and is a key cultural relic protection unit in China. The Catholic Church is not small, second only to Shanghai in East China. Built by the French in 1887, the whole building is made of brick and wood. The whole building is cross and Roman style. There are two tall and upright bell towers on both sides of the cathedral, sitting in the East and West as a whole, in front of which is the Yangtze River Binjiang Park. The church has a vast space, giving people a sense of sacred solemnity, a long corridor, red tables and chairs, with three altars in the middle, the foster father of Jesus, St. Joseph, the Virgin Mary on the left and the Son of Jesus on the right. Looking up, near the junction of the gallery and the dome, there are exquisite murals, all in color, telling stories from the Bible. It is a witness of cultural exchange between China and the West in Wuhu, and also a classic of architectural art. The church is open to the public free of charge. It is not far from the center of Wuhu, and the traffic is very convenient.

The Catholic Church in Wuhu is not only large in scale, but also a famous place in the modern history of China. Unfortunately, it can not be visited inside, even photography is declined. This is the difference between Chinese churches and foreign churches. I have visited more than ten churches in more than ten cities in the United States, and I have never found any phenomenon of openness.
