Cathedral Saint-Joseph, Roman Catholic cathedral in Wuhu, China
The Saint Joseph Cathedral incorporates Gothic architectural elements with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stone buttresses across its symmetrical structure.
French Jesuits established the cathedral in 1889, but it faced destruction during riots in 1891 and underwent reconstruction with Chinese government funding in 1895.
The cathedral functions as both a religious center for Catholic ceremonies and a gathering place for the Christian community in southeastern Anhui province.
The cathedral holds daily morning masses at 6:30 from Monday to Friday, with Sunday services starting at 8:00, welcoming visitors throughout the week.
During the construction period, Chinese nationalists organized protests and demonstrations against the cathedral, revealing tensions between local and foreign influences.
