Valtorta Memorial Chapel 恩主教小堂 at 80 Nairn rd.
Built in 1952 in the new Ho Man Tin village. Renamed Valtorta Memorial Chapel in 1955 in memory of the first Catholic archbishop of Hong Kong.
A Catholic stone church with only one storey is kind of rare. Note that the connecting road on the left led to Ho Man Tin Hill rd. It has been converted to steps which go up to Ho Man Tin Hill rd.
The cottages in the village were demolished in 1972. The church was converted into a center for the disabled in 1993.
