Baroque in style, the church was built in 1874. Each entrance of the lower level is topped by a rose window with the same size. The first building is made of light materials were replaced with stones in 1874 by Fr. Cresencio Bravo. There is one main nave and a transept measuring 76 meters long and 17 meters wide.
In 1943, during the outbreak of the war, a fire blazed the church and turned the church’s collections of 19th century ivory images and icons into ashes. Just like the rest of the houses of worship in 1948, Calinog Catholic Church was not saved from the clutches of the 6.8 magnitude earthquake referred to as “kaykay.”
The pilasters mounted on the rectangular bases up to the pediment, dividing the façade into one whole rectangular bases up to the pediment. A one story affair is indicated by the pilasters and occoli or small rose in a plain horizontal arrangement indicating the level of the choir loft.
The beautiful Lady of Immaculate Conception stands in the façade of the church welcoming her children with open arms and help their way back to Christ, To Jesus, through Mary.
