Catholic Belltower
Catholic Belltower, Religious tower in Kolonia, Federated States of Micronesia.
The Catholic Belltower rises 20.7 meters high with a foundation of basalt rock and lime mortar, featuring concrete brick construction throughout its structure.
German and Spanish Capuchin missionaries constructed this belltower in 1909 during the period when the Caroline Islands belonged to German New Guinea.
The structure represents the introduction of European religious architecture to Micronesia, merging continental building techniques with local materials and practices.
The belltower remains an active part of the Catholic Mission complex in Kolonia, where visitors can examine its architectural details and historical features.
This belltower and its adjoining masonry apse stand as the sole remaining components of the original church, which was destroyed during World War II.
