Chengzai Our Lady Church
城仔圣母堂
A century-old French-style church in Chengzai Village on Weizhou Island. Like Shengtang Catholic Church, it was built under French missionaries. It is small in scale and rarely visited.
Chengzai Our Lady Church is located in Chengzai Village in the middle of Weizhou Island. Built in the late 19th century, it was, like Shengtang Catholic Church, constructed under the direction of French missionaries. It is smaller than Shengtang, built from local coral stone and volcanic rock, and it retains pointed-arch doors and windows as well as a bell tower. It is surrounded by traditional houses and banana groves, and the setting is quiet with few visitors. Admission is free or low-cost, depending on the site. A visit takes about 30 minutes. It is located near the island's ring road, about 4 km from Shengtang Catholic Church, so you can stop by while cycling around the island by e-bike.
Opening hours
