The Nuestra Señora del Patrocinio de Maria Parish Church (Our Lady of Patronage of Mary Parish Church) or simply Boljoon Church was first built by the Augustinian Friars in 1783. The Patrocinio de Maria Parish Church is part of a complex and was a fortress church with a block house at the front left side serving as a watch tower. The complex also include a series of wall ruins, a 200 year old cemetery and a school built in the 1940’s.
There are numerous artifacts inside the Church including a pipe organ first installed in the 19th century. And aside from the beautiful ceiling painting done by local painters in the 1920’s, Church goers can also view old liturgical objects such as record books, images of saints, vestments and other relics inside the museum located on the first floor of the church convent.
Boljoon church was declared National Historical Landmark in 1999.
