Built in 1965 by Italian Camillian priest Antonio Crotti (羅德信), who designed the church in a distinctive shape to emulate Noah’s Ark. Crotti and his fellow Camillians (靈醫會) reached Penghu in 1953 after being expelled from mainland China, going on to establish St. Camillus Hospital (惠民醫院) and run rural medical circuits across the archipelago. As the congregation dwindled, the church closed and was briefly lent to a special needs center in the mid-1980s before being sold off for private use as a workshop. It now sits abandoned.
