Former Urakami Catholic Church (Former location : Nagasaki City)

This church construction started in 1895 with the design and guidance of Pierre Theodore Fraineau.
After the death of Father Fraineau, Émile Raguet took over and the dedication ceremony was held in 1914. The twin towers were completed in 1925.
It was destroyed by an atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945. The ruins remained until around 1958, but they were also removed.
