Wanghailou Church
From Wiki China org cn
Wanghailou Church (http://www.china.org.cn/english/olympic/218531.htm), or Shengmu Desheng Tang (Notre Dame des Victoires), is a tall cathedral, located on the northern bank of the river, in the northwest of the city. What makes it so special is that it was the first cathedral to be built (in 1869) after Catholicism was spread to Tianjin.
In contrast to the Catholic church farther south, this simple looking complex is open to the public only on Sunday, when a morning service is held. The church has been under state protection as a major national relic since 1988.
