St. Joseph's Church, Semarang, Catholic church building in Semarang, Indonesia.
The red-brick church features nineteen stained glass windows, a Gothic altar, and fourteen Stations of the Cross carvings along its interior walls.
Dutch architect W. I. van Bakel completed the construction of St. Joseph's Church in 1875 at a cost of 110,000 gulden for the European Catholics.
Initially serving European and mixed-descent congregants, the church evolved to welcome indigenous members, reflecting the changing demographics of Semarang's Catholic community.
The church building accommodates 800 people across two floors and maintains regular Sunday Mass schedules for its current parishioners.
Two bells from Rotterdam manufacturer Petit & Fritsen occupy the church tower, which underwent reconstruction after its collapse in 1873.
