1890年，德意傳教士聖言會會士福若瑟神父（Josef Freinademetz）在西貢海岸的一個小島鹽田仔（鹽田梓）的小山上建立聖若瑟小堂。2011年被香港古物諮詢委員會列為二級歷史建築。
鹽田梓村大約在300年前由陳氏客家移民建立，從事曬鹽及務農工作。在過去20年中，修復了教堂，部分房屋和歷史悠久的鹽田，並於2005年獲得了聯合國教科文組織亞太地區文化遺產優良獎。
Perched on a hill of Yim Tin Tsai (Little Salt Pan), a small island off the coast of Sai King, St Joseph’s Chapel at Yim Tin Tsai was inaugurated in 1890 by Josef Freinademetz, a German-Italian missionary. It was listed as Grade II Historic Building by the Hong Kong Antiquities Advisory Board in 2011.
Yim Tin Tsai village was first established about 300 years ago by Hakka Chan clan migrants, who made a living by producing salt and farming. Over the past 2 decades, the church, a number of village houses and the historic salt pans have been restored and earned a UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2005.
