OE CHURCH

[World Heritage Site]Oe Church is about 15 minutes drive from Sakitsu Church. Oe Church is a Romanesque-style church built by a French missionary Father Garnier in 1933 with his private property. Oe church located on a slope overlooking the city is a symbol of Christians as well as other residents. Oe Church and Sakitsu Church have a close relationship, because Father Garnier, who was also the priest of the Sakitsu Church, traveled along the hills called the Father Road and preached the Gospel in both districts. Oe Church was designed and constructed by Yosuke Tetsukawa. Nearby is the Amakusa Rosary Museum, where visitors can see Amakusa's Christian materials.
