Mapeng Catholic Church (Chinese: 麻蓬天主教堂; pinyin: Mápéng Tiānzhǔ Jiàotáng) is a Roman Catholic church located in Kecheng District of Quzhou, Zhejiang, China.
The church was originally built in 1830, during the ruling of Daoguang Emperor (1821–1850) of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911).[1] It was rebuilt in 1912. The whole villagers are Catholics.[2] In January 2011, it was inscribed as a provincial cultural relic preservation organ by the Zhejiang government.
