The historic churches of Sai Kung from a group of 11 churches established in the 19th and 20th centuries by missonaries in the Sai Kung area, across the the Sai Kung District and Tai Po District of Hong Kong.
The churches were established by missionaries from the Seminary of Foreign Missions of Milan (now the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions).[1] The first missionary to take up residence in Sai Kung, in 1865, was Fr. P. Gaetano Origo (1835-1868).[2]
