St. Michael's Church is located at No. 14, Taijichang Street, Dongcheng District. It was built in 1901. Established by a French senior priest, it is the last Catholic church constructed in Beijing.
On the north side of the courtyard is a two-story Western-style building made of gray bricks, which serves as the residence for clergy. The western part of the site houses the Gothic-style church sanctuary, where the archangel Michael is enshrined. To the east of the sanctuary are 10 brick-built single-story rooms. In 1986, the church underwent renovation and resumed religious activities, and it is now a key cultural relic under protection in Dongcheng District.
