Lost Key to Heaven
The
old Kyak-Pai Church locates in the Sanmin village of
Fushing township.
It is the only church built by stone in the county. It was built up
in 1963, when the traffic was tough and building material is
difficult to get at that time. The local aborigines picked up stone
in the neighborhood and built the church, which makes its most
unique appearance. It had been the religion center of the
Atayal
people. Till a new church was constructed, the stone church is
left idle, though it remains its special meaning in the minds of
Atayal habitants. The entrance of the church was design by the
concept of "the key to heaven". To ensure the rigidity of the
building structure, the arc architecture was constructed by fine
workmanship and makes the appearance of the church more native.
