  • 22582views

Founded in Tanigo-cho under the name of "Sasebo Church" in 1899, the current church was built in Miura-cho in December 1931. It has a style of beautiful Gothic architecture, though both the architect and the constructors are unknown. Also, it was religiously oppressed by the military during the Pacific War, and painted black so as not to be the target of the air raids. It is an invaluable church that survived the war.
