Oura Catholic Church is the oldest Gothic-style building in all of Japan. A French missionary built the church in 1865 and dedicated it to the memory of 26 Christians who were crucified in Japan in 1597 after Christianity was outlawed in Japan. The church is located near Glover Gardens in Nagasaki.
