Option: Private Tour: Lãng Vân Parish Church, the largest church in Vietnam
Visit Lãng Vân Parish Church, located in the northern province of Ninh Bình. Marvel at the structure, measuring 108 meters long and 43 meters wide, which took a decade to complete.
Admire the church's main bell tower, reaching 127 meters high, accompanied by two auxiliary towers at 60 meters. The church can accommodate up to 5,000 people, in addition to its basement level which can hold around 800 people.
Explore the interior, meticulously crafted with distinctive architectural details. The ceiling of the church is decorated with a large mural of The Last Supper. The church's layout, seen from above, forms the shape of a Christian cross.
Discover the church's sprawling 14,200-square-meter campus in the Phat Diem Diocese, long known for its blend of Vietnamese and European religious architecture.
