Da Lat Cathedral
Nhà thờ Chính tòa Đà Lạt
A French-style cathedral with a rooster weathervane on its tower, nicknamed the 'Rooster Church,' one of Da Lat's best-known landmarks.
Da Lat Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and was built by the French between 1931 and 1942. Its pale yellow walls rise to a bell tower about 47 m tall, topped by a rooster weathervane, which is why locals call it the 'Rooster Church.' Inside are about 70 stained-glass windows made in Grenoble, France. The interior is usually open only before and after Mass. At other times you can view the exterior from the courtyard for free. The cathedral is on Trần Phú Street, about 10 minutes' walk from Xuan Huong Lake and Da Lat Market. Please dress appropriately and keep quiet when entering.
Opening hours
