Vincent Abbey in Jiaxing, Roman Catholic abbey in Nanhu District, Jiaxing, China

Vincent Abbey in Jiaxing is a Catholic church built primarily with brick that blends Gothic and Chinese architectural styles. The structure combines tall arches and pointed features typical of Western churches with design elements adapted to the local context.

A French priest founded the abbey in 1903 during a period of expanding Catholic presence in the Zhejiang region. The construction marked a moment when Western religious institutions were establishing themselves more widely in China.

The abbey was the only general motherhouse of the Catholic Chinese Mission Society, known as the Lazarists, in China. Its Chinese name, Wensheng, refers to Saint Vincent de Paul, the society's founder. After 1949 religious activity ceased, and during the Cultural Revolution Red Guards damaged or destroyed Catholic books kept there.

The abbey is open to visitors who want to see the architecture and learn about its history. Check visiting hours before going, as they may vary with the season or special occasions.

The compound covers 47.5 mu (about 3.2 hectares) and its courtyard holds more than a hundred camphor trees. The main building's plan forms an inverted "凹" shape, with an open arched arcade running along the ground floor of the church and the European-style surrounding wings.
