Da Lat Cathedral- Con Ga Church
Besides the name ” Dalat Cathedral Church”, local people also call it “Con Ga Church” (because on the bell tower, there is a lightning rod cast which is in the shape of a chicken). The Cathedral was constructed in 1931 and completed in 1942 with the title of Saint Nicola Bari. Then it was changed to the title “Mary Mother of God”
The architectural shape is designed symmetrically in the classic way, 65m long, 14m wide, and 47m high bell tower.
The classic beauty of the Cathedral!
Due to its high, people can easily see this tower . The main door of the church is directed towards Lang Biang Mountain. The attic section is arranged with 70 stained glass panels (made from France), depicting evangelical scenes and portraits of saints, making the cathedral more majestic and magical. On the wall, there are reliefs of 1 x 0.8m in size made by sculptor Xuan Thi. The church campus has a closed fence.
This is a beautiful and valuable architectural work. This is also the place to regularly organize moral activities of Dalat.

Du Sinh Church
Surely the name of this ancient church has made many visitors curious, right ? It is named after the transliteration of Father Buu Duong, the founder of the parish called Du Sinh. Besides, it is also thought that “Du Sinh” refers to the origin of the residents here. However, some people think that “Du Sinh” refers to the faithful of Christ about their earthly pilgrimage.
Du Sinh Church!
Du Sinh Church is nestled on a hill on Huyen Tran Cong Chua Street of Ngan Hoa city. This ancient church was inaugurated by Priest Thien Phong Buu Duong for parishioners who migrated from the North from 1955 to Christmas 1957, when inaugurated, only the bell tower was completed in 1962.
A sermon in a church!
When I built the Du Sinh church, I just said that I would build it temporarily because my dream was to build a church with bold Asian architecture. But not long after that, Father Buu Duong had to change his job, so the dream failed. The church is preserved and kept until today and become one of the ideal destinations in Dalat.
