Mountain Chuch Nha Trang
Built between 1928 and 1933 in French Gothic style, complete with stained-glass windows, Mountain Chuch stands on a small hill overlooking the train station. It’s a surprisingly elegant building given that it was constructed of simple cement blocks.
Nha Tho Nui, Mountain Church (the official name is: Cathedral of Christ the King) is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Nha Trang.
It was built by Father Louis Vallet in the French Gothic architectural style, situated on a small mountain. Because it's constructed of stone, many locals call it 'Stone Church' in Vietnamese, but its most common name is 'Nha Tho Nui' ('Mountain Church'). The church is quiet and peaceful, and if you arrive at right time, you can see people praying the rosary (around 4:30pm)
This cathedral is a graceful building constructed of simple cement blocks with stained-glass windows and with three large bells in the tower.

For people here, Nha Trang Cathedral is a very significant place as they come here to pray and many couples also choose the cathedral for their wedding.
