Bauan Church, Catholic church of Neoclassical architecture in Bauan, Philippines
Bauan Church is a Catholic place of worship featuring Neoclassical design with balanced proportions, stone pillars, and a simplified facade. The building displays faux brick patterns and ordered architectural details typical of its style.
Augustinian friars founded the church in the 1590s at a different location, then relocated it multiple times before settling at its current site near Batangas Bay. This movement reflects the community's evolving needs during the colonial period.
The church houses a sacred object discovered locally in the 1590s that became central to the town's spiritual identity. This holy relic has shaped religious devotion here for generations and remains a focus of prayer.
The church is located in downtown Bauan on Kapitan Ponso Street and is accessible on foot from nearby areas. Regular worship services take place throughout the week, so plan your visit around these times.
The belfry tower dates to 1772 and has survived numerous renovations and modifications to the rest of the structure. This oldest remaining component stands as evidence of the church's enduring presence in the town.
