Korhogo Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, Cathedral in Korhogo, Ivory Coast

The Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Korhogo is the Catholic cathedral of Korhogo, in northern Ivory Coast, and the episcopal seat of the Archdiocese of Korhogo. The present church was consecrated in March 1957 by Bishop Émile Durrheimer and was chosen as cathedral when the diocese was erected.

The church was built in the 1950s and consecrated in March 1957 by Bishop Émile Durrheimer. When the Diocese of Korhogo was established that same year, the building became the main church of the region.

The cathedral takes its name from Saint John the Baptist, to whom it is dedicated. The parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Korhogo marked its 110th anniversary in 2015, so the community predates the present building by half a century. The church was consecrated in March 1957 by Bishop Émile Durrheimer and then chosen as the cathedral when the Diocese of Korhogo was erected.

The cathedral sits in the center of Korhogo, close to markets and administrative buildings, making it easy to reach on foot. The busiest time around the building is on Sundays, when services draw many worshippers.

The parish of Saint-Jean-Baptiste celebrated its 110th anniversary in 2015, which means its roots go back to 1905, long before the current building was constructed. This makes it one of the oldest Catholic communities in the region.
