Mằng Lăng Church

Mằng Lăng Church is a church building in Phu Yen Province with white walls, towering spires, and pointed Gothic arches throughout its design. The structure features two bell towers flanking a central cross at its top.

The church was built in 1892 by French missionary Joseph Lacassagne to establish a Catholic community in the region. It marks a turning point in the spread of Christianity across central Vietnam.

The church serves as a spiritual center for the local Catholic community who gather here for worship and prayer. It stands as a visible reminder of Christian presence in this part of Vietnam.

The location is accessible from Tuy Hoa city and welcomes visitors daily who wish to see the religious architecture. Access is open for tourists to explore both the grounds and the interior of the building.

The church grounds contain an artificial hill with a hidden underground chamber inside. This chamber displays stone sculptures that tell the stories of Saint Andrew of Phu Yen, a revered local religious figure.
