Chi-Nan Presbyterian Church

Built in 1916 during the Taisho period, Kocho Church is a Gothic church built with red bricks and Uriwa stone. The exterior looks like an English-style building with red brick walls. It is now a city-determined historic site. It is not open to visit the inside of the church on weekdays, so I took pictures outside.

Jinan Church was established during the Japanese occupation period from 1916 to the present. It has a history of more than 100 years and is an important religious landscape in Taiwan. Whether it is a hundred religious buildings, a historic site in Taipei City, buildings during the Japanese occupation period, etc., it is the aura of the Jinan Church.

[Jinan Presbyterian Church] "Shiding Historic Site" was built in 1916～ In terms of appearance, small minarets, towers, "stone carvings" shutters, and arches made of "mile shore stones" are used in "Gothic architecture"~ On the other hand, the exposed red bricks deliberately made with "clear water bricks", and the Ding Hang appearance matched with the shore stones, are closer to the British "Victorian" brick chapel style~ The "Sunday School Classroom" which is connected to the back of the church is also a European-style bungalow built with bricks~ The church faces east to the west, and the west side is still decorated with "geometric glass" that is unique to Protestant churches~ "Inside" the steel frame is used to raise the frame, and the wooden beams are placed on the steel frame~ The "roof" is laid with wooden planks and tiles, presenting an empty and solemn mission field.
