Front of St Lawrence Church. St Lawrence's Church is also known as 風順堂 or the Hall of the Soothing Winds.

St. Lawrence Church was originally built of wood in the 1560, rebuilt in clay in 1618 and finally reconstructed in stone around 1803.

Statue of Mary

Inside the church



The high altar inside St Lawrence Church. There is a handsome figure of St. Lawrence in gorgeous vestments. Above him hangs a crown held by a cherub and behind is a stained glass window with a dove of peace. Over the window is a wooden lamb.

In 258 AD, St Lawrence was sentenced to death by a Roman governor for helping the poor people with communion funding. To commemorate his works, a statue of the saint, with bible and rod in hand, stands solemnly in the church.




Nice windows
