Kontum Cathedral

The cathedral features a tall bell tower, extensive wooden construction, and large stained glass windows depicting religious scenes and figures.

French missionaries established the first church in 1870, while the current wooden structure was completed between 1913 and 1918 under Priest Giuse Decrouille.

The cathedral incorporates architectural elements from both Roman Catholic traditions and the stilt house design of the local Bana ethnic group.

The cathedral complex includes an orphanage, tailor workshop, brocade workshop, and carpentry facilities, serving multiple community functions.

The building uses dark-colored wood pillars and walls made from soil mixed with straw, following traditional construction methods of central Vietnam.
