Iglesia de San Francisco, Ancud, Catholic church in Ancud, Chile
The wooden church building stands on elevated ground in Ancud, featuring a Latin cross floor plan with native timber construction and alerce shingle exterior.
The current structure, completed in 1933, replaced previous churches from 1845 and 1851 that were destroyed by fires on the same location.
The church represents the Chilotan School of Religious Architecture, exhibiting traditional woodworking techniques and construction methods specific to the region.
The church building is located near educational facilities in the urban center of Ancud, with guided visits available during regular opening hours.
Following a fire in 2020, the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage initiated plans to reconstruct this recently declared National Historic Monument.
