The
cathedral, with its curved arches, was built in the Gothic style of
European architecture, in the form of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The Cua Bac Church, located on Phan Dinh Phuc Road, was designed
by a French architect. It was built in 1931-1932. The work does not

The
Ham Long Church on Ham Long street was designed by a Vietnamese
architect, Doctor Than, who studied in France. It was completed in 1934.
The work is not too complicated but it has a vast campus and it was built with local materials.
