THE CHAPEL OF KUNG-TUNG

Swiss priest Fr. Hilber devoted his life to Taitung, focusing on improving BOTH the spiritual and material life of indigenous peoples. He founded Kung-Tung Technical Senior High School as well as the chapel on one of the buildings. He brought the best European wooden technicians to be lecturers for the students and successfully breed a great generation of furniture masters. At the same time, the chapel was selected as the 30 important modernist architectures by WMF (WORLD MONUMENTS FUND) in 2017. While the reconstruction plan kicked up this July, we will revisit the building and dig out the meaning of the chapel as well as priest Fr. Hiber in the local society of Taitung and the school he founded.
