Hongjialou Catholic Church

A long time ago, when I was planning to go to Jinan, I searched for this church.

It was said that it was closed for maintenance for a while.

Fortunately, when Heihei went there, the museum had been repaired and was open as usual.



Far away, still at the crossroads,

You can see the tower of Hongjialou Church.

It's really beautiful, very elegant, with a little exotic style.

But there is not the slightest bit of disharmony with the atmosphere of Jinan.



Hongjialou Church has a history of about one hundred years.

It has obvious Gothic architectural style features.

With its high towers, fine decorations, and narrow windows,

The layout of the church is similar to most churches.

The towers are arranged in a cross shape, with towers on both sides of the main entrance.

It gives people a very solemn and majestic feeling.

There are many carved decorations on the gates and towers.



The decoration inside the church is also very beautiful, and the walls are light yellow overall.

The vaults are decorated with colorful paintings.

There are gorgeous chandeliers hanging between the pillars on both sides of the main road.

The walls outside the corridor are decorated with stained glass windows.

It was already noon when we visited Hongjialou Church.

The sun shines in through the stained glass.

The bright light spreads out at the window,

The air in the room was also tinged with a faint psychedelic color.

The way stained glass plays with light is really intriguing.



There are also many tourists in the courtyard where the church is located.

Many people were resting in the shade of the trees in the corridors.

Take a break and look at this magnificent building.

You can really feel a unique beauty.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is a twin-tower Gothic building built in 1905. It is the largest Catholic church in Jinan and East China, and one of the three most famous Catholic churches in China. It is also a photo-taking spot for young people. It is very shocking to enter the church. The decoration is exquisite and grand. Even non-believers can feel the sacred atmosphere of Christianity.

When I was looking up the guide the day before, I found that there was a church here. It looked very large and very similar to Notre Dame de Paris. It was a good place to check in and take photos. It was not far from the Jiaoji Railway Museum, so I made it my second stop on the second day. Hongjialou Catholic Church was built using the Boxer Indemnity from the 1900 Boxer Protocol. It was designed by Austrian monk Pang Huixiang and built by Chinese workers. It took three years to complete.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is a twin-tower Gothic building, which was expanded in 1906. It is basically a Gothic architectural style from the 12th to the early 16th century in Europe. When entering the church, you should respect the etiquette of faith and dress in a dignified and neat manner; do not expose your chest or back, do not wear a shoulder-baring vest, and wear a T-shirt at the shortest; wear long pants or a knee-length skirt, do not wear shorts or skirts, do not wear a hat, and take off your mask. Eating and drinking are not allowed. The church is not big. There are people taking wedding photos outside and people praying inside.

A well-known church, but it has not been open during the epidemic

As a typical Gothic building, Honglou is very distinctive both in its exterior shape and interior decoration, and its night view is also very beautiful.

The most famous church in Jinan. Many people take wedding photos here. The bride in the photo is very beautiful🌝

Find the peace of mind behind the bustling Gothic architecture. It closes at 4 o'clock, so friends should go early.

When you are impetuous and hesitant, you should look for the most genuine obsession in your heart. When prosperity fades, life will eventually return to dust. The significance of Hongjialou is more of a brand and a belief for Jinan.

It is the largest Catholic church in Jinan and East China, and one of the three most famous Catholic churches in China.

It's very romantic and worth seeing, so I won't go into details.

Didi Chuxing arrived at the door of the church, but no one was allowed to enter and the church was not open. There were only two teams of newlyweds taking wedding photos. From the outside, the weather was very good that day and the photos taken were very beautiful.

Humboldt Church is near Shandong University. I am tired of the murals of gods on the top of European churches. The top of this church is very fresh. Although the glass of the church was rebuilt later, the sunlight shining through the glass is really beautiful.

Very good, please update the opening hours from 9:00 to 16:00, and close from 11:30 to 1:30 in the afternoon

Hongjialou Catholic Church is very beautiful. When I first entered the church, I was deeply attracted by the gorgeous decoration. It is a 5-minute walk from the church to the bus terminal. There are many buses and the transportation is very convenient.

The twin-tower Gothic church is the largest Catholic church in Jinan and has ample daylight.

It's worth a look. You can use the camera and tripod inside, but you can't use the flash. You need to keep quiet. The live view is used when shooting, so the shutter sound is relatively small.

When I went there, it was closed for maintenance. I just looked at the outside, it looked pretty good.

The appearance is very spectacular

The dome inside is also very beautiful

A little disappointed. I rode here and it was really nice outside. It's a pity that it's under maintenance now. It seems we are not destined to see it 2333

Hongjialou Church is really beautiful. You can see it from far away. Since I went there on the weekend, I also met many people taking wedding photos and holding weddings. The location is very good, just opposite the Shandong University Affiliated High School.

The building is magnificent and majestic. Such grand beauty and solemnity are in no way inferior to many Christian churches and Catholic churches in Qingdao. The church is very spacious with windows on all four sides. The interior is well lit. The afternoon sun shines through, and combined with the ritual sense of religious places, it gives people a sense of spiritual purification.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is one of the landmarks that you must visit during this trip. As the largest church in North China, it adds a touch of exoticism to the ancient city of Jinan, and also bears witness to the turbulent history.

[The square next to the church] is a great place for taking photos. You can capture the spire of the church standing behind the sea of flowers through a few clusters of flowers, which is more layered and colorful than taking a photo of the church alone.

The church imitates the Gothic twin towers of Notre Dame de Paris, and the lines and decorations are meticulously carved, which can be called an oriental stone symphony. Due to its age, the luster of the stone has become dim, and people can't help but miss the passing time from its vicissitudes of life.

The church closed at 11:30 a.m. and reopened at 1:30 p.m. If you want to visit, you must plan your time well and avoid the noon time. We entered at 11:30 a.m., but the staff was very friendly and gave us more time. We had to take a quick look inside.

The interior of the church is magnificent and can be considered upper-middle level compared to other European churches we have visited. The colorful windows, the magnificent organ, the charming dome, the pure white sculptures... every detail is worth a closer look.

It is really grand and tall. The church must abide by the rules.

Hongjialou Church is a 50-minute ride from Quancheng Square by shared bicycle. A couple was getting married here this morning. The church, which was reopened as a religious venue in the 1980s, has a strong religious atmosphere.

In Jinan, the traffic is quite congested, so it is recommended to take the bus. Among the church buildings in China, it is still relatively good and a national treasure, worth seeing!

This church was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Father Gu Lijie bought land in Hongjialou Village to build the church, and this beautiful and magnificent building came into being.



The interior of the church is gorgeous, luxurious and dazzling. It is so beautiful that it must be a Catholic church.



Although I haven't been to many churches, I guess there are not many churches as beautiful as this one in China. At a glance, there must be more than four colors, all of which are bright colors. The matching is also based on the main color and is eclectic. It is as bright as possible!



If heaven is as beautiful as this, I know why doctrine can move people.

The scenery is beautiful and the history is long, it is worth a visit.

Free admission, the west gate is open ~ so beautiful ~ so spectacular ~ very worth seeing ~ at first glance, it looks like the magic school in Harry Potter?! There is a water bar at the west gate of the church, and the Oreo red bean shaved ice is the best shaved ice I have ever eaten ~

It is worthy of being the number one attraction in China-TravelNote’s Jinan destination list. I am not a believer but I am attracted by the architectural style!

The church is open from 9:00 to 16:00 (lunch break from 11:30 to 13:30). It will be closed during lunch break. Visitors can only see the exterior of the church from outside the iron gate, but cannot enter the church. When my dad and I went there, there were many people taking wedding photos outside the church. Everyone was queuing up to take photos, and you could also enter from inside.

My home is on Quancheng Road, and its name is Bianzhi Lane. The building is not large, but it is exquisitely decorated and has a long history. It is definitely one of the top Catholic churches in China.

The last stop before leaving Jinan is next to the old campus of Shandong University. I always stop for beautiful buildings, both inside and outside are very beautiful and exquisite.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is one of the three largest Catholic churches in China and the largest church in North China. It was built in 1905 by missionaries in China. It is magnificent, with exquisite carvings and slightly yellowed walls that have both a simple sense of history and solemnity and elegance.

I have previously visited the cathedral in Nha Trang, the Red Church in Ho Chi Minh City, the princess-like monastery in Dalat, and St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Singapore. They all have different shapes and colors, and each has its own characteristics, but they all give people a feeling of tranquility and shock.

The layers of carvings on the main entrance are very exquisite. There are also two stone dragon heads on the walls on both sides, with their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open, which has a bit of the charm of combining Chinese and Western styles. The church is open to the public and it is very quiet inside. The interior architecture is also very exquisite and gorgeous. The slender columns, high domes, and colored glass windows all show solemnity and sacredness. In short, this place is very suitable for taking pictures and visiting.

It's worth a visit. The church looks beautiful. It's not worse than those abroad. The bus is very convenient.

The largest church in North China, I unexpectedly encountered a couple taking wedding photos while visiting.

Free, there is free parking space on the north side of the main gate. There are many people taking wedding photos. Remember not to make noise inside the church, and pay attention to personal quality. There is a cement platform behind the church, which is a good place for shooting angles.

The church is very beautiful, with religious murals painted all over the towering dome.

The sunlight shines into the room through the stained glass windows, making it sparkle.

It's small, and it takes 20 minutes to check every corner. It's relatively rough, and it's easy to be distracted by some strange things when taking pictures.

Hongjialou Cathedral was built in 1903. It is a German Gothic building dedicated to French Catholics.

The largest Catholic church in Jinan, adjacent to Shandong University.

It's very beautiful. You can take a bus directly from Jiefang Pavilion. It doesn't take as long as one hour as mentioned. When I went there, there were newlyweds taking wedding photos.

It looks beautiful from the outside, but it is only open to the public after March 5th. It's a pity that I didn't get to go inside.

It's right next to Shandong University, but unfortunately I can't get in.

The famous Catholic Church

We finally met today

The Catholic church is worth visiting. Unfortunately, I couldn't see it up close during the holiday. The dome is full of light and color.

The place is not very big, the appearance of the church is very distinctive, it is good for taking pictures, and the place is easy to find. It is close to Shandong University

Hongjialou Catholic Church is a Gothic-style church. It looks very majestic and solemn from the outside, and it is also magnificent inside. It can be regarded as one of the most beautiful churches in China.

Of course, if you go to Western Europe, especially if you have seen the Chartres Cathedral in France, this will seem too crude in comparison.

The church is adjacent to the old campus of Shandong University in the east, so it is usually visited together. The Gothic appearance of the church's twin towers is shocking, magnificent, spectacular, and full of artistic beauty. The exterior of the Zhejiang Road Church in Qingdao is simple and lacks highlights, while the Honglou Church uses a large number of stone carvings, and the front arch is decorated with layers of carvings and exquisite details; the interior is magnificent, with carved vertical columns and murals on the dome, which is a true Western aesthetic.

Next to Shandong University, it looks a bit like the Catholic Church in Qingdao. You can go in and visit, but it seems to close at 5:30.

It was built by German monks in 1901. It is a Gothic building with a pointed and thin structure, ribbed arches, and large colored glass. It is a good place to cool off in a quiet place. There is a row of free parking spaces on the north side of the road, but it depends on your luck. There will be people preaching. It starts with an introduction, and then the doctrine (you can skip it if you don't feel it)

2016.7 It happened to be Saturday when I went there. I originally planned to go to the suburbs, but considering that I might not have enough time, I went to Lixia District to see this typical Catholic church. There happened to be a couple getting married in the church. It was a typical Catholic church style, with a lot of stained glass. The priest was dressed in formal attire to preside over the wedding ceremony. I was very lucky to witness the engagement.

After reading some travel notes, I decided to go to Hongjialou. It turned out to be worth a visit. At noon on Sunday, although the church was not in service, it was still open to the public. The church playing hymns made people feel awe-inspiring. Sitting quietly for 15 minutes felt like being baptized. The interior is very delicately carved with beams and painted with paintings, and the exterior has two Gothic spires pointing straight to the sky. It is a beautiful building.

It was the last day of my May Day trip to Jinan. I remember the gate was closed when we arrived. I told the gatekeeper that we were from out of town and wanted to take a look before leaving. Finally, he let us in\(^o^)/~

The building is very special, the interior is very delicate and well maintained. Skirts must be above the knee to enter, and outside are newlyweds taking wedding photos.

Gothic style? Very unique, worth a visit

It's magnificent. In the bustling and noisy downtown, a soul-stirring religious building suddenly appeared! Great!

I have always had a crush on churches. No matter where I go, I want to see the best church architectural style in the area. I promise you will not be disappointed after you come here. The twin tower Gothic architecture is great.

When I was making the guide, I thought Hongjialou Catholic Church was particularly beautiful, and I also like to take pictures of the top of the church, so I went there under the scorching sun. Hongjialou Catholic Church is near Shandong University. It takes about 30-45 minutes to take a bus from Quancheng Square to the church.

The European medieval Gothic style church is very beautiful and has a long history of 110 years. It is free to visit and you can make an appointment for the wedding. Many newlyweds come here to take wedding photos. The interior of the church is even more gorgeous, with stained glass painted with religious stories and a dome with exquisite patterns. Here you can feel the strong religious (Catholic) atmosphere and exotic customs. It is said that there are even Chinese elements in the architecture, but I didn't see them. It is located at Jinan Hongjialou Station, with convenient transportation around.

It feels a bit like catching up with a couple getting married. Hongjialou Catholic Church is a twin-tower Gothic building built in 1905. It is the largest Catholic church in Jinan and East China, and one of the three famous Catholic churches in China. It occupies an important position in modern Chinese religious architecture.

The church is very beautiful and can give people a spiritual baptism.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is located in the eastern part of Jinan City, on the north side of Honglou Square in Licheng District, and adjacent to the old campus of Shandong University in the east. The transportation here is very convenient. If you drive by yourself, you can directly navigate to the church. You cannot park on the road in front of the church. You can find a parking lot in the surrounding commercial area and walk very close. If you choose public transportation, you can take bus 1, 10, 11, 30, 75, 106 to Hongjialou Station. Although Jinan is also a famous cultural city with a long history, there are not many landmark buildings. This church can definitely be regarded as one, so it is worth a visit. This is a common Gothic church. The double-tower Gothic architecture that combines Chinese and Western styles is particularly magnificent and solemn. The entire building is magnificent, majestic and towering. It is basically a Gothic architectural style in Europe from the 12th to the early 16th century, and is very similar to the world-famous Canterbury Cathedral, Notre Dame de Paris, Chartres Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. The structure of the church is very regular and the construction quality is also very high, especially the details are very delicate. Because of the rich and delicate details, the whole building gives people a feeling of momentum, fine carving and magnificence. The interior of the church is full of Catholic murals and carvings, and the gorgeous hall can accommodate thousands of people for worship at the same time. Next to the church is the old campus of Shandong University, also known as the Hongjialou campus, which is open to the public. You can walk around the church from the campus. The location on the west side is better, and the towering spires are in full view, making the whole building look more majestic.

This is probably the largest and most beautiful church I have ever visited. It is located west of Shandong University.

Hongjialou Church is a free attraction. I recommend that you go there once when you go to Jinan to see the architectural style and take some nice photos! You will definitely be right to listen to me! By the way, Hongjialou is a commercial district. You can go shopping around and there are many delicious foods. We didn’t have time because we had to take the train that day, so we didn’t eat!

A relatively famous Catholic church, close to the old campus of Shandong University in the east district

It takes about 30 minutes by bus from Jinan YHA International Youth Hostel to Honglou Church, which is one of the landmark buildings in Jinan and one of the three famous Catholic churches in my country. It is not open to the public from Monday to Saturday, and is only open to the public during Sunday worship. You must dress neatly to enter, and you cannot wear slippers or shorts.

The church is a twin-tower Gothic building and is an important symbol of the Jinan Cultural Belt.

It closes at noon and doesn't open until 1:30.

During the Chinese New Year holiday, I just took a walk outside, and the appearance of the church is really beautiful!

When we arrived, the church had just finished worship and many people gathered. It seemed that a graduation ceremony for clergy was going on at the door of the church. The interior of the church is open to the public from 9:00 to 16:00 on Sundays. The interior of the church is very beautiful, with large stained glass windows. It is said that this place was once used as a cotton mill.

The church is not big but very beautiful and quiet, it is worth a visit.

It closes at 4pm, don't miss it.

The first time I entered the church, I felt that it was a place of faith. The scenes of believers worshipping and praying that I had seen in various foreign novels suddenly appeared in front of me. And the church is indeed built so majestically, I personally like it very much. The windows inside are even more magical. Only inside the church, when the sunlight shines through the windows, the patterns on the windows appear colorful and vibrant. If you look at these windows from outside the church, they are just ordinary, insignificant glass.

Hongjialou Catholic Church is bigger and more beautiful than the church in Qingdao. It is free. There are people preaching the Bible and playing sacred music in the church. My God, it is worthy of being one of the three largest Catholic churches in China. I couldn't help but sit there for a long time.
