🌈Compared with popular tourist attractions, cultural travelers prefer those unique niche destinations ✨Berlin Town, Mianyang, Sichuan, has a century-old church, also known as Berlin Catholic Church. The church was built in 1913 by the French missionary Bai Lishan. It has a history of more than 100 years and is now a Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit. 🌈The entire church covers an area of ​​6,000 square meters, including three buildings including the chapel, 🍀office building, and scripture academy. 🍀The architectural style is unique, and the milky white architectural tone not only shows the obvious Gothic architectural style, but also incorporates traditional Chinese architectural techniques. The entire building complex has a concave-shaped layout, a brick and wood structure, and a small green tile roof. It combines the beauty of Chinese and Western architecture, with the Western style being the mainstay. Standing in it, you can feel the strong sacred and solemn atmosphere 🐚There are also several crape myrtle trees and osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard, with twisted branches and artistic conception. The administrator said that these trees were planted when the church was built and have a lifespan of nearly a hundred years. More than a hundred years ago, this place must have been quite poor and backward, but the missionaries relied on their personal strength and devout faith to build such a majestic church, which is amazing. There are also statues of Jesus, Sakyamuni, Confucius and Laozi erected in the square outside the church, which is also a wonder🪸 🐳Navigation: Berlin Catholic Church in Mianyang, Sichuan Tickets: Free 🚘Parking: There is a parking lot in front of the church, free parking 💠TIPS: The church is sometimes closed.
