Former Site of the Archdeacon's Building
During the Great Revolution in 1926, like the rest of the country, Beihai also saw a massive anti-imperialist movement. From then on, the "Anglican" church in Beihai was renamed the "Church of China." Later, some Chinese church members were also included in the church’s management, but in reality, control over religious affairs and finances still remained in the hands of foreigners.
This former site was built around 1905. The main building is 19.86 meters long and 10.48 meters wide, with two floors and a construction area of 206 square meters. The main structure is still in good condition. It was the residence and office building for the clergy, specifically the archdeacon, at that time.
This former site is a historical witness to the establishment of a management institution by the Christian church in Beihai.
