The Our Lady of Victory Cathedral (Japanese: 聖母の勝利司教座聖堂) also called Daimyomachi Church is the name given to a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church which is located in the city of Fukuoka, in the Asian country of Japan.
In 1896, a small wooden church was built on the site where the present church is located. In 1938, the number of faithful from Fukuoka rose sharply, and then there was the need to expand the temple premises. The church was rebuilt and reinforced with red brick.
In 1984 he began a new restructuring of the cathedral. In 1986 the church was demolished and a modern concrete church was built in its place. The old church only remained the main altar.
The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and is the main church of the Catholic diocese of Fukuoka (Dioecesis Fukuokaensis; カトリック福岡教区) which was created in 1927 with the Papal brief Catholicae Fidei under the pontificate of Pope Pius XI.
