Church of San Juan Bautista
Church of San Juan Bautista, Wooden church building in Dalcahue, Chile.
This wooden Catholic temple features traditional Chilote architecture with a central nave topped by a barrel vault reaching 6.5 meters in height and a tower rising between 17 and 22 meters above the ground.
Built around 1887 to replace an earlier chapel from 1826, the church suffered earthquake damage in 1960 and underwent major restoration work between 2003 and 2004 to preserve its structural integrity.
The church serves as an active religious center celebrating the feast of Saint John the Baptist on June 24th with processions and community gatherings that bring together faithful from across the region.
Located near the sea in San Juan neighborhood, the church remains open for regular worship services and forms part of the Patrocinio San José de Tenaún parish serving the local community.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 2020 revealed historical foundations that were reinforced with concrete blocks to ensure the preservation of this UNESCO World Heritage Site for future generations.
