Basilique de l'Immaculée-Conception de Wanjin

La basilique de l’Immaculée-Conception de Wanjin est une église située dans la localité de Wanjin, dans le canton rural de Wanluan (en) à Taïwan, à laquelle l’Église catholique donne les statuts d’église paroissiale, de basilique mineure et de sanctuaire national. Elle est administrée par les Dominicains rattachés au diocèse de Kaohsiung (de), et est dédiée à l’Immaculée Conception. Il s’agit du plus ancien bâtiment catholique encore debout à Taïwan. Historique Par la signature un peu forcée du traité de Tien-Tsin de 1858, l’empire Qing autorise l’installation de missionnaires chrétiens sur son territoire. Les catholiques s’installent à Wanluan (en) en 1861, et construisent une première église deux ans plus tard. Le terrain où le sanctuaire est bâti est acheté par le père Liang Fang-Ji en 1869, après la destruction par un séisme de l’édifice. L’église actuelle se voit nommée basilique mineure le 20 juillet 1984 par le pape Jean-Paul II ; elle est la première église de l’île à recevoir cette distinction. L’année suivante, en 1985, elle est désignée sanctuaire national. Elle est également dans la période[Quand ?] déclarée Monument national par le ministre de l’Intérieur. En 2016, la statue vénérée à la basilique est vandalisée. Références Liens externes Ressource relative à la religion : GCatholic.org Portail de Taïwan Portail de l’architecture chrétienne
Bazylika Niepokalanego Poczęcia NMP w Wanchin

Bazylika Niepokalanego Poczęcia w Wanchin (chiń. upr. 万金圣母圣殿; chiń. trad. 萬金聖母聖殿; pinyin Wànjīn Shèngmǔ Shèngdiàn) – bazylika mniejsza Kościoła rzymskokatolickiego znajdująca się w gminie Wanluan, w powiecie Pingtung na Tajwanie (Republika Chińska). Sanktuarium poświęcone jest Niepokalanemu Poczęciu Najświętszej Maryi Panny. Papież Jan Paweł II podniósł sanktuarium do rangi bazyliki mniejszej w swoim dekrecie pontyfikalnym Qui Sanctos Cælites z 20 lipca 1984 roku. Dekret został podpisany i potwierdzony notarialnie przez ówczesnego Sekretarza Stanu Stolicy Apostolskiej, kardynała Agostino Casaroliego. W 1985 roku Święte Oficjum nadało świątyni status sanktuarium narodowego. Jest to pierwsza bazylika na Tajwanie. Historia Dynastia Qing Kościół parafialny w Wanchin został założony przez katolickiego księdza Fernando Sainza, zrzeszonego w zakonie dominikanów. Świątynia została pierwotnie wzniesiona jako prosta budowla z gliny w maju 1863 roku. 13 października 1865 roku kościół uległ znacznym zniszczeniom w wyniku trzęsienia ziemi. Następnie odbudowano go w większym rozmiarze; budowę zakończono 8 grudnia 1870 roku, kiedy to nastąpiła jego oficjalna inauguracja. Republika Chińska W latach 50. i 60. XX wieku różni misjonarze przeprowadzali w świątyni prace renowacyjne. 20 lipca 1984 r. papież Jan Paweł II nadał kościołowi tytuł bazyliki, czyniąc go pierwszą świątynią na Tajwanie noszącą to miano. W 1991 r. na terenie świątynnym zbudowano dominikańską rezydencję Niepokalanego Poczęcia. W 1994 r. w obrębie terenów kościelnych wzniesiono także centrum aktywności duszpasterskiej. 3 sierpnia 2016 roku kościół padł ofiarą wandalizmu, gdy chory psychicznie mężczyzna podpalił drewnianą figurę Najświętszej Maryi Panny znajdującą się wewnątrz budynku. Architektura Obecny budynek kościoła wzniesiono w stylu hiszpańskiej architektury fortecznej. Na terenie kompleksu znajduje się również przeorat dominikanów pod wezwaniem Niepokalanego Poczęcia oraz centrum dla odwiedzających. W pobliżu zlokalizowane są klasztory dominikanek klauzurowych i sióstr misjonarek. Zobacz też Chrześcijaństwo na Tajwanie Religia na Tajwanie Kult maryjny Przypisy Linki zewnętrzne

Former Japanese Navy Fongshan Communication Center

The Former Japanese Navy Fongshan Communication Center (traditional Chinese: 原日本海軍鳳山無線電信所; simplified Chinese: 原日本海军凤山无线电信所; pinyin: Yuán Rìběn Hǎijūn Fèngshān Wúxiàn Diànxìn Suǒ) was one of the three radio stations operated in Taiwan by the former Imperial Japanese Navy located in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. History The radio station was built in 1919, the first to be constructed in Taiwan by the Imperial Japanese Navy. Despite the military nature of the station, it was primarily used for civilian communication. After a major mechanical failure threatened maritime safety, the Japanese built another radio station at Sankaiseki (Sankuaico) and consolidated it with the Hozan (Fongshan) station into the Takao Communication Unit in 1937. When the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out soon after, the Takao Communication Unit was used to maintain the south west Pacific communications of the Empire of Japan. It was also used as tactical radio to jam and monitor American and British movements on the sea and in the air. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the station was taken over by the Republic of China Navy and converted it into a navy boarding house. Over the next decade, the boarding house was used by the navy as an interrogation facility for servicemen accused of political crimes. In 1976, it became the Mingde Disciplinary Camp of the navy, where persistent disobedient servicemen were imprisoned. When the camp was decommissioned, it was turned into the Kaohsiung Military Dependent's Village Cultural Association. Transportation The building is within walking distance north of Fongshan Junior High School Station of Kaohsiung MRT.
