The St Joseph's Church of Beijing is a church located along the famous Wangfujing Street in Beijing. It is also known as the East Cathedral. Located at 74 Wangfujing Street, it is one of the most important churches in Beijing.
St Joseph's Church was built in 1655 over the site of the resident of the Jesuit missionary Adam Schall von Bell (1591-1669). The original church is long gone, as is many subsequent rebuildings, the result of earthquakes, fires and the Boxer Rebellion.
The St Joseph's Church that we see today is the result of a US$2 million makeover carried out recently. It stands before an open courtyard with an arched entranceway.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
