Glass Shoe Church Build In Taiwan!

Made out of over 320 tinted glass panels, the shiny blue building measures more than 10m (36ft) wide and cost about T$23m (US$686,000 £477,000), a 16m-high (55ft) glass church in the shape of a high-heeled shoe has been built in Taiwan.
Built by the local government officials in Southwest Coast National Scenic Area of Taiwan, the shoe-church was inspired by a local story. According to officials in the 1960s, a 24-year-old girl whose surname was Wang from the impoverished region suffered from Blackfoot disease. Both of her legs had to be amputated, leading to the cancellation of her wedding. She remained unmarried and spent the rest of her life at a church. The high heel is intended to honour her memory.
