Holy Rosary Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Semarang City, Indonesia
The Holy Rosary Cathedral features stone foundations, a large congregation hall, multiple entrance doors, and traditional Gothic architectural elements with regional adaptations.
The cathedral, completed in 1927, gained its official cathedral status in 1940 when Albertus Soegijapranata became the first archbishop of Semarang.
The cathedral complex incorporates a meeting hall, school facilities, and bishop's residence, serving as a central hub for Catholic education and community activities.
Visitors can access guided tours of the cathedral, which is situated near Tugu Muda in the Randusari district of Semarang City.
During World War II, Archbishop Soegijapranata protected the cathedral from Japanese forces, declaring they could only take it by removing his head.
