Suzhou Gospel Chapel is situated in the east part of Dahenan Street in Suzhou, Anhui Province. It's a palace-style chapel with an extremely unique design, as established by an American Presbyterian church in the later years of the Qing Dynasty. In August 2012, the chapel was listed as a state-protected heritage site in Anhui Province to preserve its historical value.

The Gospel Chapel faces the North, with a dimension of 70m x 77m, occupying 5490 square meters. It contains a door entrance, a men's guest room, a ladies' guest room, a big chapel, a small chapel, the pastor's room, and a clock tower.

Pastor Huang Xinping from Suzhou Gospel Church once said this when he was conducting an introductory tour of the church, "With hundred years of history, this building is extremely rich in history, thus transcending tremendous peace to this land."
