St. Joseph’s Cathedral

St. Joseph's Cathedral is an exquisite church of the late 19th-century Gothic Revival (Neo-Gothic) style and serves as the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hanoi. Its construction began in 1886 and its architectural style reportedly resembled Notre Dame de Paris. The church was one of the first structures built by the French colonial authority in Indochina when it was opened in December 1886. St. Joseph’s Cathedral currently features masses at weekends and during key holidays and occasions.
