Sacred Heart Cathedral, Brazzaville, Catholic cathedral in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral occupies a prominent location on Aiglon Hill, offering views of the city center and the river beyond.
Built in 1892 under the guidance of architect Prosper Philippe Augouard, this cathedral stands as the oldest existing religious structure in Central Africa.
The cathedral houses the burial sites of Cardinal Emile Biayenda and Monseigneur Théophile Mbemba, two important religious figures in Congolese history.
The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules and remains open for religious ceremonies, including weddings and other Catholic sacraments throughout the week.
Two large polychrome statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, created before 1914, frame the eastern-facing main entrance of the cathedral.
