呼和浩特近代教会建筑研究

Research on Church Architecture in Modern Hohhot

呼和浩特为内蒙古自治区首府,历史上便是多种宗教文化交汇之处。1865年比利时圣母圣心会(C.I.C.M.)~②来到中国,主要在长城以北地区传教,在华活动时间长达90年(1865—1955年)。西式风格建筑伴随着西方传教士的足迹,于近代开始大量出现于内蒙古各处,尤以呼和浩特为最多,规模最大。本文将讨论该修会在呼和浩特建造的教会建筑,主要建筑位于呼和浩特市中心的伊斯兰街区,其自身独特的西式风格,与一街之隔的呼和浩特大清真寺形成特殊的城市空间。

Hohhot is the capital city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous region,where many religion and culture converged in the past.Together with the footprints of the missionaries,western architecture emerged on this plain,especially in the city of Hohhot,where they were more and much greater.Belgian Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary(C.I.C.M.)entered China in 1865,and they were very active beyond the Great Wall,had stayed in China for ninety years(1865—1955).For the sake of missionary enterprises,they built a lot of churches,but only a few of them survived.This paper will focus on those western buildings in Hohhot,which have distinct feature in the Islam district downtown and show rich in cultural heritage,and composed special space.
