We studied the church building in and around Nagasaki Prefecture with reference to the change in the number of church buildings up to date and to the relationship between the building forms and materials. From this investigation, we attempted to classify the process of development of the church building into such four eras as Preparation (-1895), Development (1896-1909), Perfection (1910-1920) and Stagnation (1921-1931); and made it clear that the brick church building had performed an important role to lead the church building to perfection.
