Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Lubumbashi
Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Lubumbashi, Catholic cathedral in Makutano, Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral features neo-Gothic architecture with a tall bell tower and stained glass windows throughout its stone structure.
Built during Belgian colonial rule, this cathedral became a central religious institution when Lubumbashi, formerly known as Élisabethville, emerged as a mining center in 1910.
The cathedral integrates European architectural elements with local Congolese design influences, reflecting the fusion of Belgian and African artistic traditions.
Visitors can reach the cathedral through local transportation, with guided tours available in French and Swahili during regular opening hours.
The cathedral stands as the primary Catholic place of worship in Lubumbashi, serving a congregation of over 2.5 million residents in the surrounding area.
