Bacong Church
Saint Augustine of Hippo Parish Church, commonly known as Bacong Church, is a Roman Catholic church located in Bacong, Negros Oriental, Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Dumaguete.
The Augustinian Recollects built the church in 1865.[1] It is partly made of bricks, a deviation from the coral stones, which is the usual construction material used for churches during the Spanish colonization in the Philippines. In addition, the belfry has a caracol-type stairs, and has a number of L-shape masonry work on its walls, a rarity among Philippine churches.[2]
The church has a pipe organ, which originally came from Zaragoza, Spain in the late 19th century.[3]
The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a national cultural property in 1972.[4]
