St. Gregory Church (Majayjay Catholic Church)

Reputedly one of the oldest churches in the Philippines built in 1575 using forced labor. Antique relief statues of saints, which were brought by the Spaniards, are preserved in this church. Its belfry houses four small bells and one big bell – which are probably the oldest in the country. The rooftop of the church offers an obstructed but nonetheless, breathtaking view of Mt. Banahaw and Laguna de Bay.

The church has undergone several reconstructions and rehabilitation works, withstood countless calamities, and endured revolutions. The Americans as headquarters during the Filipino-American war used it. Although much of its past glory and beauty have faded, the church shall forever be treasured by the local people for its stands as witness to the history of the town.
