Yuanli Holiness Church (苑裡聖教會) - Spectral Codex
苑裡聖教會

A Holiness Church (聖教會) in central Yuanli, Miaoli, completed in 1958 on land donated by the parishioner Zhou Huaigong (周懷恭), who had also funded the rebuilding of the nearby Yuanli Presbyterian Church. Its Gothic English-style front, with pointed-arch windows and a three-storey bell tower, once stood out as a landmark above the low streets of Yuanli. The ageing tower is now braced with steel, and its cross has been moved down onto the sanctuary.
