Phát Diệm Cathedral
Phát Diệm, Vietnam · built 1899
The Phát Diệm Cathedral (Vietnamese: Nhà thờ chính tòa Phát Diệm) is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phát Diệm, located in Kim Sơn District of Ninh Bình Province in Vietnam. The architecture of the church – built in stone and wood in 1891 – is an eclectic blend of Vietnamese and European architectural styles. It was mainly built in traditional Vietnamese architecture, similar to historical palaces and temples. It was bombed in 1972 and subsequently restored. Complementing the cathedral, the Phat Diem complex includes five chapels, three grottoes, a memorial house, and a recently constructed pastoral center for the diocese.
