Loon Church, Catholic parish church in Moto Sur, Philippines
The church building features a rectangular design with twin octagonal bell towers and inscriptions adorning its white stone facade.
The initial stone church construction occurred between 1855 and 1864, under the supervision of Director of Public Works Domingo de Escondrillas from Cebu.
The interior contains three neogothic altars, with the central altar displaying Nuestra Señora de la Luz, the church's main religious figure.
Following complete collapse in the 2013 earthquake, the church underwent an eight-year restoration process, concluding in September 2021.
The choir loft houses six bells, with five dating to 1867, each bearing inscriptions and images of specific Catholic saints.
