St. Nicholas Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Đà Lạt, Vietnam

The St. Nicholas Cathedral features Romanesque Revival architecture with rounded arches, twin bell towers, and a central spire reaching toward the sky.

French colonizers initiated the cathedral's construction in 1931, and the interior work continued until its completion and consecration in February 1942.

The cathedral maintains regular mass schedules in Vietnamese, serving the local Catholic population while representing French architectural influences in Southeast Asia.

Visitors can attend any of the five Sunday masses at the cathedral, which stands prominently on a hill in central Đà Lạt.

A brass rooster weathervane sits atop the central bell tower's cross, installed in 1934, leading to the local nickname 'Chicken Church.'
