Kediri Puhsarang church has a unique shape with a high-value architecture. Puhsarang enter the complex, seemed to enter a temple, very much the stones. The area surrounding the church is indeed producing stone, a round oval shape. This apparently inspired the Dutch architect who care about the context of local architecture and culture, as well as the potential of their local area.
In the complex there is a miniature of the old church Gua Maria Lourdes which is a replica of a statue of Maria Lourdes. Around a small statue in a cave above inscribed brass using the Java language Dutch spelling: IBOE Maria ingkang pinoerba without original sin, Moegi mangestonana kawoela ingkang ngoengsi in Panjenengan Dalem. (Our Lady contained no stain of original sin, pray for me to come take refuge in You).
