Aowei Church of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary

The building is built in a unique blend of traditional Chinese architecture and Gothic style, and its floor space is 360 square meters.

[citation needed] In 1912, the episcopal throne was moved to what then became St. Dominic's Cathedral which later became the largest Catholic church in the entire province of Fujian, and remained so to this day.

While being used by the government owned factory, the church building suffered slight damage, and the north tower was demolished.

In the same year and again 1992, the local government announced that the building would be protected as a cultural relic after series of serious damages had been inflicted upon the church building when the sanctuary and the choir was illegally demolished due to road expansion of Cha-ting Avenue.

Despite the repeated proclamation of the church building to be preserved as a historic landmark and cultural relic, the church was illegally occupied once more by the Children's Hospital of Fuzhou in 2002, and the entire building was unlawfully demolished to make way for a makeshift cafeteria.
