Da Nang Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Da Nang, Vietnam.

The cathedral rises 70 meters high with a pink facade, medieval stained glass windows, and Gothic architectural elements featuring rhombic-shaped arches.

French priest Louis Vallet constructed the cathedral in 1923 to serve French colonial residents, and it opened its doors on March 10, 1924.

Local residents name it the Rooster Church after the metal weathercock at its summit, which references the biblical story of Saint Peter.

The cathedral holds daily services in multiple languages, including English masses on Sundays at 9:00 AM, with no entrance fee for visitors.

A gray alloy rooster statue mounted on the lightning rod functions as a weather vane, indicating wind direction from its position atop the bell tower.
