What would take you to church? One Taiwanese religious group believes a shoe-shaped church will do just the trick.

The giant structure, which takes the form of a high heel, is hoped to attract female worshippers in particular.

The building is made from 320 pieces of blue-tinted glass, and stands about 17 metres high and 11 metres wide in Ocean View Park, on the island's east coast.

Southwest Coast National Scenic Area spokesman Zheng Rongfeng told local media the church would also include 100 "female-oriented" features.

They reportedly include chairs for "lovers", maple leaves, biscuits and cake.

The church, for which the denomination is unclear, took about two months to build and is expected to open by February 8, before the Lunar New Year.
