History

The church was built by Huang Rong-quan, a Presbyterian Church priest in Taiwan, in 1964 with a group of Atayal people. It underwent reconstruction after 2000 after its roof collapsed and damaged the building. In 2013, the church was selected as one of the 100 Religious Attractions in Taiwan by the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of Culture has also listed the building as one of the century-old historic sites.

Architecture

The church roof is supported by woods with round door at the entrance with Chinese style.
