Danang Cathedral is the cathedral of Danang Diocese in central Vietnam. This is also known as the Pink church Da Nang, the only church built in Danang city in the French colonial period, in 1923 by the priest Louis Vallet for Danang’s French colonial population. The church officially opened its doors on 10 March 1924 with the purpose of serving the French Catholics who lived in Da Nang at that time. Now, Da Nang cathedral still functions as a lively place of worship for the catholic locals in Da Nang.
This imposing, candy-pink cathedral Da Nang is known locally by the name ‘Rooster’ (Con Ga) Church. The name comes from the imposing bell tower that’s topped with a rooster weathercock.. It’s explained that the rooster on the roof of the church is not in fact the symbol of France, but is a symbol associated with St Peter’s story in the Gospel about repentance and awakening.
