Yanshui Catholic Church was founded in January 1955 near Ximen Rd. in Yanshui Dist. The main gate of the church is a Chinese gatehouse flanked by a pair of stone lions on either side. Hugolino Schorr, a German Franciscan Order priest was the first to preside over the Yanshui Catholic Church and a pioneer in spreading gospel in the Yanshui region.
