Iglesia de Guayacán, Gothic metal church in Guayacán, Chile.
The church features a 27-meter central tower, metal sides with rivets, and twenty-one pointed arch windows throughout its structure.
Built in 1889 by the Belgian company Societé Anonyme des Forges d'Alseau, the church was commissioned by businessman Maximiano Errázuriz for the mining community.
The temple served as a religious center for international mining workers from England, United States, and Canada during the copper production peak.
The church measures 10.2 meters wide by 21 meters deep, with a total area of 233.6 square meters including the sacristy.
The entire structure consists of galvanized brass panels transported from Antwerp port and assembled on-site within two weeks.
