Church missions have performed substantial missionary work and experienced many twists and turns in Modern China. Contacts and interchange between Chinese and Western culture became intense. A great number of churches were built to accommodate the Scheutist missionaries in the remote counties beyond the Great Wall. Many of these churches are still used, while others have been abandoned or fallen into disrepair. These churches bear witness to the architectural transmission and culture exchange between the West and East during the modernization process. I will trace the history of Scheut Missions in northern China, and focus on their church buildings. Through the comparison of the Belgian churches with the Chinese variants, the relevant similarities and differences in architectural design and construction will become evident within a global environment.
