Oura Catholic Church and Nagasaki Harbour

This is Nagasaki Port and Dejima viewed from behind Oura Church. The photograph is part of a stereo-photo series by Wilhelm Burger taken around 1868. The exterior wall of the back of the nave (the alter area) was semicircular at the time of the establishiment, and the pinnacles on the sides of the front of the church were already gone at the time of this photo. The big roof on the right is Myogyoji Temple. The building at Oura No. 11 is visible by the mouth of Oura River.==Date:about 1877, Place:Nagasaki, Photo:Wilhelm Burger, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images)
