Ōno Church, Catholic church in Ōno Village, Nagasaki, Japan

The church structure combines stone and wood construction with brick window arches and distinctive walls created using local basalt mixed with red soil and lime.

Built in 1893 by architect Marc Marie de Rotz, this church served 26 Christian households in the area as a secondary location of Shitsu Church.

The building exemplifies the fusion of Japanese and European architectural elements through its kawara tile roof and traditional construction methods.

Visitors need to contact the Hidden Christian Sites Information Centre before their visit to arrange access to this Important Cultural Property of Japan.

The church features specialized de Rotz walls that function as vertical windbreaks, incorporating materials from the surrounding region for enhanced structural stability.
