The St Joseph’s Cathedral in Hanoi was opened in 1886, a year after the French colonial officially occupied the country of Vietnam. The cathedral still holds mass twice daily and is probably the most famous church in Hanoi.

Wow, that’s a beautiful old cathedral.
Surprised to see so much still left in Vietnam from the French days. But I guess the architecture from previous occupiers is still usefull to the people.
It is a beautiful cathedral, and quite a huge church in Asian standard. Didn’t expect to see this in Hanoi.
looks like notre dam in paris.
Notre Dame. The two cathedrals do share similar architecture style, thus might look alike at first glance… but when going into details, they are very much different.
