Iglesia de San Francisco, Castro

Enter and sit down for a quiet moment of reflection inside Castro’s cathedral - one of the 16 UNESCO-listed wooden churches of Chiloé. Built entirely from native timber and assembled without any nails using only traditional carpentry techniques. A reflection of the island’s strong community roots and cultural identity. An impressive example of how local materials and craftsmanship have shaped both architecture and daily life in Chiloé.

Stunning church - very brightly coloured from the outside which is a surprising contrast with the gothic feel inside - all dark wood and imposing altars.

Most beautiful church I had ever seen. All handcrafted in the most beautiful woods that took my breath away.

Nice church, unfortunately it was closed on Sunday. Would be nice if they make an effort to actually allow people to see it.

Impressive church fully made of wood, which has a better resistance in case of earthquake.

Nice blend of German wood architecture example in South Chile

Large and beautiful wooden church. Amazing interior and vaulted, wooden ceilings!

Truly amazing church. Impressive from outside, design and artwork inside is amazing. Don't miss it.
