Cayenne Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in central Cayenne, French Guiana.
The cathedral features a rectangular design with a yellow facade, prominent bell tower, and spiral topped cross at its summit point.
Originally constructed in 1825 as Saint Nicolas Church, the structure underwent reconstruction between 1925 and 1933 using stone and brick materials.
The cathedral functions as the primary seat of the Diocese of Cayenne and maintains its role as a central religious institution in French Guiana.
Located at coordinates 4.93972°N and 52.33167°W, the cathedral contains long rows of benches and a substantial altar for religious ceremonies.
The altar, pulpit, and confessional inside the cathedral were transferred from the Mother Ilet prison chapel in 1876.
