Loon is not just a gateway; it's a living museum. Explore the majestic coral stone architecture and the resilient spirit of our community through its historical landmarks.
Long before it became a quiet base for travelers heading deeper into Bohol, Loon was one of the province's most prosperous towns. That history is written into its streets, its plazas, and above all its coral-stone architecture — built stone by stone by generations of Boholanos.
The Church of Our Lady of Light
The spiritual and architectural heart of Loon, the Church of Our Lady of Light, was once the largest church in Bohol. Painstakingly rebuilt after the 2013 earthquake, it stands today as a symbol of the community's resilience. Arrive early in the morning, when the light catches the pale limestone and the grand staircase is quiet.
The Grand Stairway
The town's iconic stone stairway connects the upper poblacion to the coastal road below. It is a short but rewarding climb, and the view of the Cebu strait from the top is one of the best free experiences in the region.
How to plan your walk
Start at the church plaza, follow the heritage markers through the old commercial district, and end at the stairway for sunset. The full loop takes about two hours at an unhurried pace — perfect for a half day before checking in at Loon Apartelle, just minutes away.
