Confucius Shrine

It is said that the Confucius Shrine in Nagasaki is the only Confucian shrine built outside China by Chinese hands in the world. It was built in 1893 by Chinese residents of Nagasaki with the support of the Ch'ing Dynasty government, and after the atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, the building was severely damaged and needed restoration. It opened again to the public in September 1967.
