Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Roman Catholic cathedral in downtown Hangzhou, China
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception features three naves separated by columns and displays traditional Roman architectural elements across its exterior and interior spaces.
Italian Jesuit Martino Martini established the cathedral in 1661, making it one of the earliest Catholic religious structures built in the Zhejiang province.
Chinese artists created frescoes within the cathedral that merged Western biblical narratives with local artistic techniques, representing an early cultural exchange.
The cathedral holds Chinese language services every Sunday morning and English language services on Saturday evenings for the local Catholic community.
The Kangxi Emperor provided funding for repairs and ordered an inscription stating 'built by order of the emperor' to be placed on the church gate.
