Zhangpuqiao Catholic Church (张朴桥天主堂) was originally named Catholic Church of the Original Sin of our Lady of Zhangpuqiao. It was founded in 1844 and was built 30 years before the cathedral atop of Sheshan was built.
Today this church does not appear to be in use anymore. It looks a little dilapidated, and peeking through the windows it seems it is used as storage.
It is surrounded by fields and, at certain times of the day and with the crops standing high, it probably makes for great photos.

Photos of this church recently (Sep 2026) exploded on Xiaohongshu (Red Note). So I visited again … and the church is renovated, the surrounding cleaned up and the paths paved. It is now a popular photo spot.
