St. Joseph's Church, commonly called Wangfujing Church or Dongtang ("East Church"), is a Romanesque Revival cathedral at 74 Wangfujing Street in Dongcheng District, Beijing. Jesuit missionaries finished its original construction in 1655, but the current structure dates to 1904 after renovations and reconstruction. It is the second oldest church in Beijing, after the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and is protected at the national level as a Major Historical and Cultural Site.
