  Xikai Church
 

Xikai Church - the Tianjin Catholic Church, is located in Dushan Road, Heping District, near Lida International Department Store. With a construction area of 1,585 square meters and a height of 45 meters, this French Roman style architecture in a plain and long cross style has been turned into the center of the Tianjin Catholic Church. 

The church is comprised of two parts - a chief church and a cathedral, which were built by the French Catholic Church. The chief church was constructed in about 1913, while the cathedral in 1917. The cathedral is a 45-meter-high Roman-style building and the largest church in Tianjin.
