Sakitsu Village

 

Sakitshu is a Christian Pilgrimage site and has been registered on UNESCE World Heritage

as Hidden Christian site Hidden Christian Sites in the Nagasaki Region.

A Gothic-looking church is located on a cove of a fishing village. In 1934, a French priest

Augustin Halbout MEP purchased the premises of the former village headman and built a

wooden and concrete finished church, with Tetsukawa Yosuke’s design and construction.

He placed the altar at the very site where fumie or a test to ensure non-allegiance to

Christianity had been conducted.
