Oe Cathedral Amakusa
The Church is a Pilgrimage site and is the oldest Catholic Church in Amakusa and was one of
the first churches built right after the ban on Christianity was lifted. The Romanesque-style
architecture and the chalky white structure was rebuilt in 1933 by a French missionary priest
named Father Garnier using his own money and contributions from local Christians living in
the area.
