Xikai Church is the largest Catholic church in Tianjin.

The full name of Tianjin Xikai Church is Tianjin Catholic Xikai Cathedral, also known as St. Joseph's Church. It is located on Dushan Road, Binjiang Avenue, Heping District, Tianjin. It faces northeast and is the largest Catholic church in Tianjin, as well as the cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Tianjin. The church was built in 1916 by French missionaries. Xikai Church is a typical European Romanesque building. The floor plan is in the shape of a Latin cross, and three giant domes, each 45 meters high, are arranged in a staggered "pin" shape. The domes are covered with green copper plates, and each dome has a bronze cross on top. The exterior walls of the church are made of red and yellow bricks, which look particularly spectacular. In August 1991, Xikai Church was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin. In the same year, it was jointly named a "National Excellent Modern Project" by the Ministry of Construction and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. In November 2018, Xikai Church was selected as the third batch of 20th-century architectural heritage in China. Xikai Church
