History

It was built in 1902, in the late Qing Dynasty, by Weng Mingde (Chinese: 翁明德), who was an Italian Franciscan missionary, and was destroyed by chaos in 1910. Then it was rebuilt in 1911.

In 2002, it was listed as a "Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the Provincial Level" by the Hunan government.

In December 2008, the church celebrated its first one hundred years.
