据我所知道的，应该是没有，KL多数古老的建筑物如教堂和一些上百年的学校都是victoria style的。

你想参观的Gothic style是不是应该要有frying buttress和stained glass的？

真 正 的ｇｏｔｈｉｃ ｓｔｙｌｅｓ 是 不 可 能 有 的， 那 是几百年前的风格， ｇｏｔｈｉｃ ｒｅｖｉｖａｌ就有，在 ＫＬ Ｓｅｎｔｒａｌ附近就有一间教堂是ｇｏｔｈｉｃ ｒｅｖｉｖａｌ。叫什么名字就忘了，不过真的很近KL Sｅｎｔｒａｌ，几十ｍｅｔｅｒ罢了。

你说的那间是Holy Rosary Church， 是吉隆坡的Neo-Gothic建筑。
但历史比起欧洲，不能算久，一百年出而已。

The History of The Holy Rosary Church

Little is recorded of the history of the church. But of what little is known, we get the glimpse of the missionary spirit at the turn of the century which led to the building of the Holy Rosary Church, and the growth of the church in keeping with the development of Kuala Lumpur.

But more than the physical growth of the church building, the Holy Rosary Church grew in spirit, in the number of people who accepted God through the Catholic faith.

The Holy Rosary Church with its very pretty Gothic architecture was constructed by Father Francis Emile Terrien, a French missionary.

In 1903 Father Terrien was in charge of the Catholic Chinese community in Kuala Lumpur with the special mission of building a new church. He was assisted by Father Lambert.

To quote from an annual report written by Bishop Fee of the churches in Malaysia and Singapore in 1903: 'During the Lenten season I sent Father Lambert as assistant of Father Terrien to be together in charge of Kajang and the Chinese of Kuala Lumpur, a week after Fr. Terrien came to see me to tell me that the land next to the HIJ Convent (now the Telekom building at Brickfields Road) is for sale. We borrowed some money to put the first deposit. The parish of St. John contributed for one-third of the total and Fr. Terrier got the balance from the Chinese community. On 31st July the land was paid, the loan reimbursed and the plan for a new church prepared.

Father Lambert and Father Terrien's assistant drew up the plan and work went or non-stop for 18 months. Fr. Vignol, an administrator in the Catholic Churches of Malaysia wrote in his annual report: 'Across the town of Kuala Lumpur near the railway station we can see a building going up and two gentlemen working to prepare the fines' decorations of their church. There is Fr. Terrien and Lambert. How are they going with such work ? This is the question of everybody. But the good Lord has blessed 'their work and within a few months a new bishop, Mgr. Barillon, will bless the most beautiful of the churches of the diocese.

In November, 1904 the church was completed and it was blessed on Dec 18. Bishop Barillon. The church building was different from the present building. The roof of the Church was flat and the wings were not added till 1950. An older parishioner remembers that on the flat roof we usually put a 5 star paper and a bamboo contraption during Christmas with an oil lamp. There was no electricity then.' The parsonage was an attap building and the belfry where the bell was placed was on the ground on the left side the church.

Fr. Temen remained with the church till 1914. He was succeeded by Pr. E. Brossard who died in office in 1928 and was followed by a succession of priests. During the Japanese Occupation Father Girard was parish priest. Most parishioners of that time will remember him and his courage for he stayed on during those difficult times.

In 1950 the church was extended by Father Moses Koh. Whilst the church was being renovated, a temporary attap building and altar was erected on the present kindergarten playground behind the church. The wings were built and it was during this extension that the church obtained its existing building.

The renovations were completed in 1951 and blessed by Archbishop Olcomendy on Dec 7th 1951.

Currently the parish pastor is Fr. John Gnanapiragasam.
