Qingdao Protestant Church
基督教堂
A Protestant church built by Germany in 1910, with a yellow-walled, green-roofed castle-style bell tower that visitors can climb for views over the red-roofed old town.
The Qingdao Protestant Church sits between Jiangsu Road and Signal Hill. Designed by a German architect and completed in 1910, its castle-style bell tower, with yellow walls and a green roof, is one of the most recognizable buildings in German-era Qingdao. Visitors can climb the bell tower to see the old mechanical clock and the street scene of red roofs and green trees. Admission is about CNY 10. Services may be held on weekends. The church is within walking distance of Signal Hill, the former German governor’s residence and the Catholic cathedral, so it fits well into a half-day tour of the old town.
