Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Taiyuan, Roman Catholic cathedral in Taiyuan, China
The Immaculate Conception Cathedral features a Romanesque Revival design with two bell towers reaching 35.7 meters and a rusty-red exterior facade spanning 34 meters.
Built in 1635 as a modest chapel by Jesuit missionary Michel Trigault, the cathedral underwent reconstructions in 1870 and 1902 following destruction during religious conflicts.
The cathedral's design incorporates Chinese architectural elements through six square pillars on its facade, while maintaining traditional Catholic structural characteristics.
The cathedral accommodates over 3000 people for regular services and contains multiple altars, with a 16-meter-high nave ceiling and two sets of arched windows.
The building's distinctive rusty-red color serves as a memorial to clergy members who lost their lives during the Boxer Rebellion of 1900.
