Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Paramaribo, Suriname
The wooden cathedral features two prominent towers and combines neoromanesque and neogothic architectural elements in its grand structural design.
The construction of this religious building took place between 1883 and 1885, using cedar wood sourced directly from the Amazon rainforest.
The cathedral houses the tomb of Peter Donders, a missionary who devoted his life to caring for leprosy patients in Suriname.
The cathedral welcomes visitors from Monday to Friday between 6:00 and 13:30, Saturday from 8:00 to 13:00, and Sunday from 8:30 to 12:00.
In 2014, Pope Francis elevated the status of this structure to basilica, making it the fifth cathedral in the Caribbean to receive this designation.
