About Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral, Shenyang
The Catholic cathedral of Shenyang, a brick Gothic Revival church with two towers about 40 m high and a large rose window above the entrance. The first church here dates from the 1870s; it was burnt down in 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion and rebuilt in 1909–12 to a design by the French priest Henri Lamasse, paid for with Boxer indemnity money. It remains an active church, and a sunken plaza was laid out in front of it in 2000–01.
