The Saint Cross Church is a church in Jingliao Village, Houbi District, Tainan, Taiwan.
The church was designed in the 1950s.[1] In 1955, German priest Eric Jansen who was stationed in the village decided to build a Catholic church.[2]
Designed by German architect Gottfried Boehm, the church building consists of four parts, which are pyramid chapel, coned bell tower, basilica and holy shrine.[3] Towers of the four parts were built with aluminum-covered cypress.[4] At each of the tower tip lies a representative totem. The church features a dormitory and a kindergarten within the same compound. The church has also a small museum depicting the history of the church from its founding.
