A good angle to look at this church with the Pearl Tower in the background between the buildings. Have you got more pictures of churches in Shanghai? Thanks.

上海沐恩堂,位于上海市中心的西藏中路,原来属于基督教监理会教堂。

最初创建于1887年,那时名叫中区监理会堂,由于在创建时,美国监理会得到了一名叫慕尔的美国信徒巨额捐款,所以1890年改名为慕尔堂,以表示对他的纪念。1929年,该教堂向西迁移,建造了现在的这座教堂。

教堂由一位欧洲设计师设计,属于新哥特式风格,1931年建成。教堂为砖木结构,有宽大的门厅,中部是教堂的主体部分,总共能容纳1000人,其中正厅560人,楼座380人,唱诗班处60人;大堂的长方形柱子和楼座的栏杆以及讲经台都用斩假石饰面,室内露出水泥幔尖拱顶。1936年,一位美国教徒前来参观时,曾捐资在教堂的钟楼顶部安装了一座5米高的霓虹灯十字架,从而使该教堂成为当时上海乃至远东地区的著名教堂。

1958年,上海基督教各派在这里举行联合礼拜,并正式把它的名字定为“沐恩堂”。
