Шаблон:Infobox UNESCO World Heritage Site The Church of Santa María de Loreto de Achao (Шаблон:Lang-es) is a Roman Catholic church located in Quinchao Island's largest town, Achao. Often referred to as «Church of Achao» —Шаблон:Lang-es—, is within the Diocese of Ancud, and was built around 1740 when Chiloé Archipelago was still a part of the Spanish Crown possessions.[1]

The Achao church is one of the oldest traditional Chiloé churches built in the 18th and 19th centuries, and survives almost intact from de Jesuit mission era.[2] It belongs to a group of 16 iconic wooden churches that were declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under «Churches of Chiloé»'s denomination[3] because of their unique form of wooden architecture known as the «Chilota School of Religious Architecture on Wood».[1][4]
