St. Nicholas Cathedral of Da Lat

We walked past this church on a Sunday afternoon while a ceremony was taking place. Many locals from the city had gathered to join the service. ⛪ The atmosphere was calm, respectful, and truly heartwarming. 🌿 It turned out to be a very beautiful and meaningful place, both spiritually and architecturally.

I visited on Easter Sunday and saw a big mass happening and it was really special to witness. I heard this is one of the oldest and most iconic cathedrals in Da Lat, and it definitely has a historical charm. The architecture is stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a lovely place to stop by, whether you’re religious or just love beautiful buildings. Worth a visit!

There are five masses every Sunday and I could not get inside since I believe they would only open for masses which is a bit of a pity since Cathedral are meant to open to public for prayers and so on. Its original name seems to be Saint Nicholas Cathedral. Long ago, there was a cemetery all around the edifice. It's likely to be replaced by many, many benches present outside the cathedral and other little buildings behind it. Would that be a way to give the deceased one a place to rest forever instead of the old cemetery mentioned above? I will gladly put the highest five stars when I would be able to go inside and get the beauty in front and above both my eyes. That's what the Bible says, always contemplate what will happen in front and above your eyes after all.

I visited Con Ga Church on Sunday afternoon, and it was quite crowded as a service was taking place. Despite the number of people, the atmosphere remained peaceful and solemn, creating a serene experience in the heart of the city. The church's Gothic architecture is impressive, with its tall bell tower and beautiful stained-glass windows. The spacious courtyard also offers a nice view of Da Lat. Since a service was in progress, I couldn't explore much inside, but I could still appreciate the sacred and historical ambiance of the place. For those who want a quieter visit, it might be better to come at a less busy time. Overall, it's a wonderful place to visit, combining architectural beauty with a tranquil atmosphere, even when crowded.

The church in Da Lat can be said to be striking with its color too. In addition to its striking color, this church is still active. If we were there yesterday, we could only visit the outer area. But in the outer area, if we want to sit and pray, we can. Because there is a garden area that we can sit in. One of the places we can visit when we go to Da Lat.

Beautiful cathedral aka The Rooster Church. I was welcomed for 5:15 mass. Lovely.

We happened to drive by and found that the view from the road in front of the church made this street even more charming 🛵✨

Looks wonderful and very well maintained by the authorities. Situated very near to city centre and can be viewed and visited by walk from market place easily. Construction was done more than 50 years back and has withstood the condition well.
