 Image The Bethanie Chapel is built by the Missions Etranges of Paris in 1875. The chapel was listed as Grade II Historic Buildings in 1981.

Bethanie is an European style structure, located on Pok Fu Lam road, nearby the University of Hong Kong. The Church provided residence for the missionaries who came far from Europe a hundred year ago.

In 2003, the government reconstructed the Bethanie Chapel and authorized the Academy of Performing Arts(APA) to have the right to use it as her campus.

On March 1 2009, the Academy of Performing Arts held an Open Day at Bethanie, giving a chance for Hong Kong people to visit her historic campus and the works of her graduates.

 

Image During war-time, it was also an old cow shed of the popular Dairy Farm and produced dairy products to the people in the area, including the soldiers of Japan.
