| Description |
English: Place: Wanjin, Wanluan
The Wanchin (Wanjin) Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (萬金聖母聖殿) is Taiwan's oldest basilica church. The Parish in Wanchin is established by Dominican Order. The church was originally constructed as a simple mud church in May 1863. On 13 October 1865, the church was heavily destroyed by an earthquake. It was then rebuilt with a bigger size and completed on 8 December 1870 when it was inaugurated. The church underwent renovation in the 1950s and 1960s by different missionaries. On 9 December 1984, the church was conferred the title of basilica by Pope John Paul II, making it the first church in Taiwan to receive such title. In 1991, the Immaculate Conception Dominican Residence was built on the church ground. In 1994, an activity center was also build within the church area. On 3 August 2016, the church was vandalized when a mentally ill man set a fire to a wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary inside the building.
