Karuizawa was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s with the Western missionaries in Tokyo as a summer resort. One such missionary, Father Ward from England, built St. Paul Catholic Church in 1935. Designed by A. Raymond, the architecture is characterized by its steep, 3-sided roof with a large steeple and exposed concrete. St. Paul Catholic Church is a popular symbol of Kariuzawa.

Saint Paul's Catholic Church was established in Karuizawa in 1935 by the British priest Father L. Ward. The church is one of the historic buildings in Karuizawa designed by the architect Antonin Raymond, who received awards from the American Institute of Architects.
It features a triangle-shaped steep pitch roof, big steeple and as-cast concrete.
Father Carlos Martinez has held the office of priest chief since 1961 for a half century.
Passing through Church Street from Ginza Street of Kyu-karuizawa, the church lies straight ahead. The church blends harmoniously with the surrounding beauty of nature in all seasons and attracts many visitors every year.
