Weizhou Island Catholic Church is located in Shengtang Village, Weizhou Island. When you walk to the end of the village, you need to store your car and walk in. The Catholic Church is the most magnificent church in the "Leilian" area in the late Qing Dynasty, hidden in a green banana forest and jackfruit forest. The church was built by missionaries of the Foreign Missionary Society in Paris, France, and was completed in 188. The church is a Gothic building with a height of 21 meters and a total construction area of 774 square meters, with a total area of more than 2, square meters including ancillary buildings. It is the largest Catholic church in the coastal areas of Guangxi. Its construction is related to the Qing government's "reopening of the island ban" on Weizhou and the opportunity for the French to preach on the island. In the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government issued a "forever ban" order because Weizhou Island was "isolated in the sea, and it was the easiest to hide traitors". In the sixth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1867), the Qing government "reopened the island ban" on Weizhou, and the French Foreign Missionary Society in Paris took this opportunity to send French priests to preach on the island.
