Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Cathedral, Kisantu, Catholic cathedral in Kisantu, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The cathedral features architectural elements inspired by Tuscan design, with a prominent facade and traditional Roman Catholic basilica layout structures.
The construction of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Cathedral took place from 1926 to 1936, replacing an older mission established by Belgian Jesuits in 1893.
The cathedral functions as the central religious institution for the Diocese of Kisantu, established in 1959 through a papal bull by Pope John XXIII.
Located 120 kilometers south of Kinshasa, the cathedral underwent extensive restoration work in 2011 to maintain its structural integrity.
The cathedral stands near the Inkisi River banks, forming a religious complex alongside other Catholic institutions in the Kisantu region.
