Mằng Lăng Church, Gothic Revival church in Phu Yen Province, Vietnam.

The church features tall spires, pointed arches, and ornamental details across its white exterior, with a central cross between two bell towers.

French missionary Father Joseph Lacassagne constructed this religious building in 1892, establishing a significant Catholic presence in the region.

The church preserves the first Vietnamese-Latin dictionary created by Alexandre de Rhodes in 1651, marking the birth of modern Vietnamese writing.

Located 35 kilometers north of Tuy Hoa city, the church opens daily and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture and Vietnamese history.

The church grounds contain an artificial hill with a small underground chamber displaying sculptures depicting stories of Saint Andrew of Phu Yen.
