In 1958, churches from different Christian denominations in Zhabei District united. 16 churches within the territory merged into Zhabei Church, realizing the unification of Chinese churches.

Holy Trinity Church

Jiangxi Middle Road, Jiujiang Road, Huangpu District (not open)

1869

"The red wall is faintly seen in the clouds, the palace is made of glass and gold, the uncle's intestines are broken, and the whale bells bump against each other. The wind blows flowers, the embroidery courtyard is full of fragrance, worship is today , all have their own tricks."

This poem is composed of the word "Bodhisattva Man", which was written by Wu Youru, a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty, for his painting "Red Chapel". The church mentioned in the poem was originally called Holy Trinity Church. It was the largest and most gorgeous Christian church in Shanghai in its early days.

After Shanghai opened as a port, British people came to Shanghai one after another, including about a hundred Christian believers. They had to go to the British Consulate every week for worship, which was very inconvenient for them. In 1847, a British businessman named Bell bought a piece of land on Jiangxi Road and Hankou Road in the name of his company and funded 6,000 yuan to build a church. However, the quality of the building was poor. At the same time, Luther, the first pastor, drowned and his successor, Hao Berson, built a church from the roof. It was turned down and hit by a storm in the third year. Although 5,000 yuan was spent on major repairs, everyone still believed that the church was unsafe and unlucky, so it was demolished and rebuilt in 1862. It was designed by Scott, an expert in Gothic church architecture. The design was very particular, but due to lack of funds, Kedner, a designer based in Shanghai, was asked to make modifications.

The Red Chapel was built by the Christian Stabilization Society (also known as the Rules Society in Shanghai) and was specially used for British worship. Its appearance is in the British Gothic style. The foundation stone was laid on May 24, 1866, and it was built by Fanhan Company. On that day, the British Consul in Shanghai Wen Jiester, Chairman of the Association Pike, the director, treasurer and two designers all participated in the groundbreaking ceremony. A band composed of sailors from the British Volunteer Corps and sailors also came to join in the fun. The scene was very lively. In 1875, the Red Chapel was upgraded to the Anglican Beihua Diocese Cathedral. In 1893, a spire-style bell tower was added to the left side of the church lobby, making the entire church more majestic and famous throughout the Far East.
