The Jiguopai Old Church (traditional Chinese: 基國派老教堂; simplified Chinese: 基国派老教堂; pinyin: Jīguópài Lǎo Jiàotáng) is a church in Sanmin Village, Fuxing District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan.

History

[edit]

The church was built by Huang Rong-quan, a Presbyterian Church priest in Taiwan, in 1964 with a group of Atayal people.[1] It underwent reconstruction after 2000 after its roof collapsed and damaged the building. In 2004, the building was designated as a historical spot by the Taoyuan County Government.[2] In 2013, the church was selected as one of the 100 Religious Attractions in Taiwan by the Ministry of the Interior.

Architecture

[edit]

The church roof is supported by woods with round door at the entrance with Chinese style.
