The peculiar Du Sinh Church
As Catholic churches go, Du Sinh church in Da Lat has architecture that might not be seen anywhere else. That peculiarity does not only serve as a tourist magnet but also reflects the fascinating cultural and religious life of the Vietnamese people. Du Sinh church was built in 1956 and inaugurated on Christmas of 1957, except for the bell tower which was completed in 1962. Overall, the exterior of Du Sinh church is indeed similar to a Vietnamese temple. The church is located on a hill on Huyen Tran Cong Chua street in Da Lat city. The church’s gate is built with three doors and a simple structure. From the gate to the cathedral there is a ramp divided into 5 levels. A pair of giant cement dragons lie in wait from the bell tower floor to the gate.
