The Catholic Henan General Convent is located in the eastern suburbs of Kaifeng, east of Yangweipu Village, built in 1930 with funds from the Holy See's Ministry of Mission. The Catholic Henan General College is a special high school specially established for the training of Catholic Chinese clergy. It was founded in 1930 and closed in 1958. It lasted 28 years. During this period, the Catholic clergy of Henan graduated from the college, which has a great impact in China's Catholic Church.

Free visit. I went last summer. After getting off the bus, I didn't know where the entrance was because there was no sign. I watched the general convent in the wall and finally transferred to the entrance and exit. Some people live on one side of this long-disrepaired building, and I didn't approach them, only taking pictures on the other side. There were no other tourists at the time, some floors on the second floor were cracked, and there were vegetables growing in the backyard. Is this building always going like this? I think it's a shame.

The General Convent is a two-story circular building with an oval plane, north and south long ５１．１ meters, east and west long ９１．４ meters, building area ２７００ square meters, size rooms total １９０ rooms, building for Chinese and Western combination brick and wood and brick mixed structure building, the tiles used are gray tube tiles. The upper and lower two floors of the building have a wide outer corridor around the whole building. The whole building is symmetrical from north to south, with a large shape, magnificent, delicate and exquisite decoration, elegant color, and exquisite workmanship. The whole building has been preserved in good condition so far, and is a rare example of modern architecture in the combination of Chinese and Western. It was built in 1930 and completed in 1932. After consultation, the Catholic bishops of Henan Province at the time of the year considered it necessary to establish a senior convent to train Chinese clergy. The site was finally selected by the Italian Missionary Church in Milan and was built in Kaifeng. The exterior of the General Convent is Chinese classical and the interior is Western-style, so it has an architectural significance that cannot be ignored in the history of architecture. Now has divided many residents into veritable large courtyard!

河南总修院，曾是一所专门为培养天主教中国神职人员而设立的特殊高级学校。建筑的外观是传统的古典式青瓦大屋顶，门窗则为西方样式，整体布局工整大气，在装饰上又不失细腻，中西合璧的风格在国内也是首屈一指。🌟亮点特色：一早坐公交前往，下车后向路人一打听，不远处便是。与描述中的相比，如今破败的建筑已经被拆的七零八落，仅存的主楼和教堂看上去也是毫无生气，周围还住着一些当地居民。走进主楼大门，当年修生体育活动的广场，现在已变成杂草丛成的小田地。看见一位大伯正在松土、除草。据他说，经常能见到来这里采风的人，以前这里还住着十来户人家，随着建筑的慢慢荒败，现在只剩三四户，都是上了年纪的老人，在这里住惯了就不想搬了，中间的广场就像一座大号的天井，平时在这里种种菜打发时间，既能吃又锻炼身体，不过我逛了一圈发现这里的建筑很多墙都已经开裂，电线也是住户自己拉的，的确有很多隐患。总修院的主体建筑是一座平面呈椭圆形的环形二层小楼，走廊与主楼相连，沿着破旧的楼梯走上二楼，墙顶早已剥落，要是晚上来还真有点吓人，主楼后面是一座西式教堂，墙上写着“无玷圣母堂”，不过据大伯说，现在已被挂上大锁，进不去了。听说早几年政府就想把这里作为一个景点开发，虽然偶有小修小补，但迟迟不见动作，随着人越来越少，现在房子没人住就更容易坏了，他们还是希望能把建筑恢复原样，重现这座建筑曾经的辉煌。🚉交通攻略：目前总修院正在装修中，公交坐到汽车配件公司站，下车步行过去即可。#城市里的私藏秘境 #小众免费打卡地推荐 #发现旅途的色彩 #小众发现社 #城市人文手记

去时正值傍晚，残阳下在一片杂草中，画家在做画，楼上老太太在夕阳中打盹，这本身就是一幅画。与历史对话，想像当年的景象，恍恍惚惚！
