Former Shimizu Catholic Church (Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City)



This church was built in 1930.
As of 2018, the church seems to be considering to rebuild this chapel.
The Catholic Diocese of Yokohama decided to rebuild the church in 2020. Then they banned the use of the church and closed it on October 31, 2021. However, the demand for preservation continues.

In 2024, the "Association for Preserving the Wooden Gothic Architecture of former the Catholic Shimizu Church" has taken over the building and begun dismantling it in preparation for relocation. (This link page is written in Japanese.)
