Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Catholic cathedral in Lake Charles, Louisiana
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception features Romanesque Revival architecture with red brick construction, a square tower, and a three-aisle cross plan layout.
Following the destruction of the original church in the 1910 city fire, the architectural firm Favrot & Livaudais completed the current cathedral structure in 1913.
The cathedral houses a substantial image of the Blessed Virgin Mary carved from Carrara marble, which received canonical coronation from Pope Benedict XVI in 2013.
Located at 935 Bilbo Street in Lake Charles, the cathedral serves as the primary church for the Diocese of Lake Charles and holds regular religious services.
Three marble altars in Gothic style were transferred from a Salt Lake City church and installed within the cathedral sanctuary during 1923.
