Stone church

The Stone Church is a cultural site and natural reserve in Biobío Region, built from stones gathered in nearby rivers. Its construction displays traditional building methods where craftspeople sourced materials directly from the surrounding landscape.

The church was built in the late 1800s when regional craftspeople developed a new religious building using local materials. This period marked the expansion of religious life and community infrastructure in the Biobío area.

The church serves as a gathering place for religious celebrations and community meetings throughout the year. It reflects the local connection between faith and the natural landscape that shapes daily life in the region.

The site is open to visitors daily and includes information centers with details about local plants and wildlife. It works best to arrive during daylight hours so you can explore the structure and learn about the natural reserve at your own pace.

The interior of the stone structure has natural acoustics that enhance religious ceremonies and musical performances without any electronic amplification. This sound quality was an unintended result of the construction methods and remains a distinctive feature for visitors today.
