Catholic Church of The Holy Rosary (1903)

This guide to the Catholic Church of the Holy Rosary in Kuala Lumpur opens with Father Girard, who took down all five stained-glass windows depicting mysteries of the Rosary and hid them before the Japanese occupation reached his 1904 church. You'll hear about the French missionary Father Terrien, who built the original hall for the city's Chinese Catholic community, and about the postwar decision not just to repair the building but to transform it. Listen for what architect Robert Pereira added when he rebuilt the spire above you in 1955.
