Vincent Abbey in Jiaxing, Roman Catholic abbey in Nanhu District, Jiaxing, China
The Vincent Abbey displays a combination of Gothic architecture and Chinese elements, constructed primarily with brick across 5,677 square meters.
French priest Bu Shijia established the Vincent Abbey in 1903 during the Guangxu period, marking the expansion of Catholic presence in Zhejiang province.
The structure represents the integration of Western religious practices within Chinese society, serving both as a place of worship and community gathering center.
The abbey maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours available for visitors interested in learning about its architectural details.
The Zhejiang government designated Vincent Abbey as a Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the Provincial Level in March 2005.
