This was built in the 1930s as a Japanese-styled Buddhist temple. Since 1957 until recently, the building was used as a church. It exhibits a rare appearance by producing Japanese wooden temple style with stones. In the building’s front, the prayer hall acts as the main gate. The roof above the hall was built in Japanese gambrel roof style. The building is now used as an exhibition/cultural facility.
