Kyuunagasaki Daishikyokan Former Nagasaki Archbishop's Palace

Tangible cultural property designated by the prefecture

　The existing remains are a reconstruction of the first rectory that was built before Oura Cathedral. It was designed by Father de Rotz in his later years, and Yosuke Tetsukawa, famous for his church construction, was in charge of construction. Completed in 1915. At that time, it was a bishop's residence, but in 35, when the Bishop of Nagasaki was appointed archbishop, it became an archbishop's residence. However, in 1959, it was moved to Urakami Cathedral, the Nagasaki Archbishop's Cathedral, so it became the main rectory of Oura Church and came to be called the former Nagasaki Archbishop's Hall.

 

　The building is a three-story building with a partial underground floor, making good use of the sloped land, and its structure is mainly made of brick with some wooden construction. The north side facing the road has a brick wall that reaches from the ground to the roof, and the other three sides have wide verandas around the outside. Both the large roof and the lower house have gable roofs on the north side and hipped roofs on the south side with shallow tiles. It is characterized by its clear central corridor-shaped plan and simple but neat form based on classical style, and is valuable alongside Father de Rotz's earliest work, the Old Luodian Seminary.
