Catholic Church on Gulangyu Island

The church served as the Spanish Consulate and French Consulate in succession. In 1916, Manuel Prat, the Spanish missionary of Ordo Dominicanorum, was appointed as the bishop inthe Xiamen parish. Manuel Prat exchanged its original chapel at Tianwei Road with the French Consulate at Lujiao Road, and used the consulate as a church.

The Gothic church, designed by a Spanish architect, covers a floor area of 232 square metres. Most of the construction materials are bricks, stones and wood. It has three floors, with the first floor serving as the entrance hall, the second for hymns singing, and the third as the bell tower.

Its lintel over the window is engraved with the Latin characters "ECCLESLA CATHOLICA", which means Catholic Church in English. It is the only Gothic Catholic church in Xiamen.
