History in the Making: The Completion of Union Church Hong Kong

The Union Church has existed in Hong Kong for nearly 180 years, and in that time, it has called 5 buildings home. The first opened in Central district on Hollywood Road in 1844, followed by one on Staunton Street in 1866 and then Kennedy Road in 1890.

That last church was destroyed during World War II and its replacement, completed in 1949, met the wrecking ball in 2017. Now, after 6 years of construction, the latest iteration of the church has opened in September 2023 with architecture that is decidedly contemporary yet rooted in previous generations.
