Medan Cathedral Parish, Roman Catholic cathedral in Medan, Indonesia

The Immaculate Conception of Mary Cathedral features stone walls, a tin roof, and a single spire in the Modernist architectural style with Nieuwe Zakelijkheid elements.

The cathedral's journey began in 1879 as a leaf-roofed hut serving Tamil Indian and Dutch Catholics, before evolving into its current structure completed in 1928.

The cathedral's construction led to the establishment of a separate Tamil Indian Catholic community with their own St Anthony's Church in the Medan Baru district.

The cathedral accommodates 2000 worshippers and maintains regular mass schedules, with detailed information available through their official website katedralmedan.or.id.

Dutch architect Han Groenewegen designed this religious structure, incorporating both modern architectural principles and traditional Catholic church elements in tropical Indonesia.
