The inside of the cathedral is distinctively more modern than the external facade would suggest, which makes the cathedral a rather unique. In many ways the cathedral is a strange balance of East and West, old and new, religious and secular. The area around the cathedral is filled with artisan restaurants, takeaways, coffee shops, and bars. Therefore this church and its surroundings are a must-visit site for anyone visiting Hanoi.#Cathedral #Hanoi #vietnam

The Hanoi Cathedral is the oldest church in Hanoi, built in the neo-Gothic style, said to be modeled after Notre-Dame de Paris, featuring medieval charm, and is a very representative French-style building in Hanoi. Although the exterior of the church is a bit mottled, the interior has a richly decorated main altar, stained glass windows, and square towers, all of which are quite impressive. Outside the church, there is a small religious goods shop with a lot of beautiful items, including various books, prayer beads, and ornaments, it's a pity I didn't bring enough money. After visiting the church, you can go across the street for a cup of coffee or juice. Highly recommended to take a look!
