Du Sinh Church

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:37:09

This hilltop church resembles a temple more than a traditional church; it was built in 1955 by Catholic refugees from the north. The four-post, Sino-Vietnamese steeple was constructed at the insistence of a Hue-born priest of royal lineage. Under the entrance archway there's a statue in classical Greek style flanked by two golden Chinese dragons.

To get here, follow Ɖ Tran Phu out of the centre until it becomes Ɖ Hoang Van Thu. Turn left onto Ɖ Huyen Tran Cong Chua towards the former Couvent des Oiseaux, now a teachers’ training college, and the church is 500m southwest up the road.
