Imamura Cathedral, in Fukuoka-prefecture

 

Imamura Cathedral is located in Tachiarai, Fukuoka-prefecture.

A Christian group was born in this region in the late 16th century.

When Christianity was banned, I continued my faith as a hidden Christian.

The twin-towered Romanesque-style brick Cathedral planned by Father

Tamotsu Honda and completed in 1923 with financial aid from foreign countries.

It was designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa, who was a master

church builder at the time.

The Cathedral has been designated as a national important cultural property.
