Annunciation Seminary, Catholic seminary in Bailu, Pengzhou, China

Annunciation Seminary is a religious training building in Bailu featuring Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque details. The complex has several connected structures with tall towers, arched windows, and interior spaces designed for teaching and prayer.

French missionaries built the structure between 1895 and 1908 and ran it until 1949 as a training facility. The 2008 earthquake caused extensive damage, but experts carried out comprehensive restoration work between 2009 and 2016.

The chapel and classrooms show how European and Chinese building traditions came together in one place. Visitors can observe how the architecture supported religious instruction and connected different cultures.

The seminary stands in the countryside of Bailu, Pengzhou, away from central Chengdu. Visitors reach it by road through Pengzhou; the complex is a national protected site, so access follows heritage-site rules. The central courtyard and surrounding buildings allow walking between the chapel and former dormitory wings.

The Latin name Seminarium Annuntiationis is carved at the entrance. In 1917 J.-M. Planchet called it the "Grand Séminaire" to distinguish it from Pengzhou's "Petit Séminaire" for younger students. Locals also know it as Shang Shuyuan, the "Upper College".
