Iglesia de Guayacán
(Reads: 2956, 14-May-2004)The church was declared a National Monument in 1977. It is located in Guayacán, in the Bay of la Herradura. It belonged to the Urmeneta family, who lived in the town of Guayacán in the 19th Century. Its entirely metal structure was erected in 1889 by a Belgian company.
Until the latter part of the 19th Century this church was the urban center of the population who worked in the copper industry, belonging to the Urmeneta Errázuriz family. This foundry no longer exists and its church, now a chapel, is evidence of this type of metal architecture of the time.
The church was built by Alejandro Eiffel and bought in Belgium in 1888. Both the interior and exterior are covered with sheets of zinc metal.
