This is a Christian church (Catholic Noboricho Church) built for the purpose of commemorating the victims of the atomic bomb and war and praying for world peace. Father Hugo Lasalle, who was exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, started construction on August 6, 1950 with the help of the Pope and others from all over the world, and it took four years to complete in 1954 (August 8, 1954). It was inaugurated on June 6th and was named the ``World Peace Memorial Cathedral''. It was designed by Togo Murano, who also designed Prince Hitachi Residence and Takarazuka City Hall in Hyogo Prefecture, and was the first postwar building to be designated as an important cultural property along with the Peace Memorial Museum.
