Mansinam Historical Island
This island is considered a holy place in Papua Island. It has been the witness of the two German catholic missionaries, Ottouw and Geissler who introduced the Christianity and modern civilisation to Papuan communities on the 5th February 1855. This island also stores the artefacts and memories of the first Christian Catholic community which was formed in Papua island. The old well, which was built by Ottouw and Geissler, has remained intact and still functioned to provide water supplies for the locals. Every 5th February, the Papuan Christian community gathers in this island to commemorate this historical day: the day when the bible was firstly introduced to the local inhabitants of the region. Do you want to experience an insightful spiritual journey? Come and feel the spirit of this place!
