Exploring the Unique Architectural Marvels of Da Lat Churches
The Chicken Church
Address: 17 Tran Phu Street, Ward 3, Da Lat City, Lam Dong.
One of the famous churches in Da Lat that young travelers flock to is the Chicken Church. Also known as the Cathedral, its full name is the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas of Bari. However, because there is a statue of a chicken on the church's bell tower, locals refer to it as the “Chicken Church”.
This is one of the oldest religious architectural structures in Da Lat, showcasing ancient architectural styles. Built during the French colonial period, it still retains its original charm today.
Especially if tourists visit Da Lat during Christmas. Upon stepping into the Chicken Church, they will surely have a completely different experience, with lavish decorations including caves, Christmas trees, etc. The scenery here, coupled with the weather in December, will create beautiful and unforgettable memories.
Address: 11 Nguyen Khuyen Street, Ward 5, Da Lat City, Lam Dong.
One of the unmissable churches when visiting Da Lat is Cam Ly Church. Built in 1959 and completed in 1967, the church is topped by a 17m-high roof, made from 80 thousand pieces of roof tiles weighing up to 90 tons. From a distance, Cam Ly Church looks like a “giant hammer lying across the sky”.
Cam Ly Church remains as beautiful as when it was first built. When visiting here, tourists not only admire the beauty of the church but also feel the kindness of the nuns who have diligently cared for and nurtured generations of underprivileged children.
Domaine de Marie Church
Address: 1 Ngo Quyen, Ward 6, Da Lat City, Lam Dong.
Every day, Domaine de Marie Church attracts a large number of visitors when they come to Da Lat. With an area of over 10 hectares, Domaine de Marie Church was built in the classical European style of the 17th century combined with some Vietnamese folk architecture elements.
The roof system resembles the communal house of the Tay Nguyen ethnic minority. The walls are built with split stones up to the window sills in the style of Normandy architecture (northern France). Since its completion until now, Domaine de Marie Church has only used pink lime wash to paint the walls.
Here, tourists have the opportunity to take check-in photos with a very classical space, bringing a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Don Bosco Church
Address: 4 Bui Thi Xuan Street, Ward 2, Da Lat City, Lam Dong.
