Sacred Heart Church

Sacred Heart Church is a church building in Romanesque Revival style featuring a characteristic pink exterior in Ho Chi Minh City. It displays rounded arches, strong stone walls, and a solid architectural structure built to last.

Construction started in the 1870s when France controlled Vietnam and finished in 1876. The building reflects French colonial influence on the region's architecture and religious life.

The church serves as a gathering place for Catholics in the city and hosts religious ceremonies and celebrations. It holds special meaning for families who mark important life events within its walls.

The church sits in a central city area and is accessible by public transport and foot. Visitors should wear respectful clothing and check visiting times before arriving, as religious services may limit access to certain areas.

Both the exterior and interior walls have been painted in a pale pink color since 1957, giving it a distinctive look. This shade has become its most recognizable feature throughout the cityscape.
