WEDDING CHURCH IN THE SHAPE OF A SHOE

High-Heel Wedding Church

     We have all heard the story of Cinderella. We know that she was ill-treated and went to a royal ball only because her fairy godmother did some magic, got her a pretty dress, beautiful glass shoes and a carriage to take her to the ball. Cinderella had to leave the ball at midnight and in her hurry, she lost one of her glass shoes. It was with the help of this shoe that a prince was able to find her, marry her, and live happily ever after with her.

     In Chiayi, Taiwan, there is a church which is built in the shape of a shoe. It is called the High-Heel Wedding Church. There is a building that looks like a shoe in our country too. It is located in Mumbai, at the Kamala Nehru Park named after Chacha Nehru’s wife. 

     The High-Heel Wedding Church does not serve as a true church. That is, people do not go there to pray, but it is beautiful especially when it is lit up. 

     It is a popular tourist attraction. Constructed with 320 blue glass panels, the structure costs over $ 6,86,000 (more than 5 crore in Indian Rupees). The High-Heel Wedding Church is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest building shaped like a shoe. It is 58 feet (just over 17 metres) tall. Inside the shoe the toe portion features a worship space.
