Sacred-Heart of Kaifang Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Kaifeng, China.

The Sacred-Heart of Kaifang Cathedral is a Catholic church in Kaifeng with a basilica-style structure and pointed arch windows marking the main southern entrance. The complex includes a multi-story bell tower and an attached episcopal residence serving the religious community.

Jesuits brought Catholicism to Kaifeng in 1608, but their church was destroyed when the Yellow River flooded the city in 1642. In 1902 the Milan Foreign Missions priest Noè Giuseppe Tacconi arrived to revive the mission; he bought land in 1905 and built the present cathedral between 1917 and 1919. The Holy See erected the Kaifeng vicariate in 1915, and in 1948 the communist authorities confiscated the cathedral and its dependencies.

The cathedral is also known as Lishiting Catholic Church, after Lishiting Street in the Shunhe Hui District, where it stands at No. 41. The couplet flanking the altar reads: "The universal true light shines on all nations; the fire of love in every heart kindles the Central Plains." The separate bell tower, 45 metres tall, was said to be heard clearly in the eastern suburbs.

The best way to approach the building is from the south, where the main entrance with its distinctive pointed arch windows is located. The site with the bell tower and attached buildings can be easily explored on foot.

The bell tower stands detached, three metres north of the nave and unconnected to it, a grey-black four-storey square pyramid. Seminarians who lived at the Henan provincial seminary in Yangweipu recalled that its bells could be heard clearly out in the eastern suburbs. The main hall seats over 600 people, and the altar carries a couplet reading "普世真光耀奇光光临诸夏, 全腔爱火发神火火燎中原".
