    The Notre Dame Cathedral twin towers is a familiar landmark in Ho Chi Minh City. It was built by the frech around the 1880s. In front of the cathedral in a small garden is a statue of the Virgin Mary. The interior of the cathedral is rather plain but it is a cool escape from the heat outside. There are no formal opening time, just watch for services. The admission is Free; but donations are welcome

    Built between 1877 and 1883, this very European structure reminds you that Vietnam was a French colony at one time at that around 10% of Vietnamese are Catholic. It was constructed in a neo-Romanesque form with two 40m high towers with iron spires. Every stone used in its creation was shipped from France to Vietnam. Often the gates are closed. However, they are open for sermons. Priests sometimes add a short sermon in French or English to their predominantly Vietnamese presentations. In front of the cathedral there is a statue of the Virgin Mary.

    Built in 1877-1880 Notre Dame Cathedral is one of Vietnams oldest Catholic Churches. In December 1959 the church was named after approval was given by the Vatican.Visitors can attend mass 3 times on week days and Saturdays and 6 times on Sundays.

    Constructed between 1877 and 1883, the Gothic-style Notre Dame Cathedral stands testament to the fact that Vietnam has the second largest Catholic population in Asia behind the Philippines.

    From the City Centre it is an easy walk of less than 10 minutes to the Cathedral. The 40 metre high square steeples stand out on the skyline and help navigate the streets. The cathedral was built between 1877 and 1883 and has no stained glass windows as they were damaged during World War 2 and never replaced, the exterior walls being red brick have suffered water damage over the years. It can be seen where sections have been repaired , however there is need for considerable more work to be done. The lack of maintenance is typical of many classic old buildings highlighted as tourist attractions in HCMC. We were unable to enter the cathedral as a service was in progress when we visited late afternoon. The entry doors were open but as the fence gates were locked we had to look over the fence through the open doors to glimpse the interior.
