Bacong Church
Bacong, Philippines
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. 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. The church has a pipe organ, which originally came from Zaragoza, Spain in the late 19th century. The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a national cultural property in 1972.
