The tower, which was originally a symbol for a once-thriving monastic community and Christian emblem for centuries, now proudly overlooks a quiet green village.
The tower’s bells, built by soldier-turned-saint Mo Chua, would summon for prayer and signal the alarm after an age of frequent Viking raid. The haunting bells have stopped ringing, and the only sound in this picture-postcard landscape is the laughing of children at the village playground across the road.
Come down and experience this timeless village that has been preserved almost exactly how it was hundreds of years ago.
