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)
