Ah, the Mountain Church—Nha Trang’s gothic gem perched high above the city like it’s the guardian of all things beautiful. Seriously, this place looks like it was airlifted out of Europe and dropped into Vietnam just to make everyone’s Instagram game stronger. First off, let’s talk about the architecture. Those stained glass windows? Gorgeous. The stone walls? Majestic. The vibe? Let’s just say, if this church could talk, it’d probably have a British accent and offer you tea....it’s got that much class. The climb up to the church is a bit of a workout, but hey, think of it as a preemptive strike against all those banh mi you’ve been devouring. Once you’re up there, the views of Nha Trang are so worth it. You can see the whole city laid out like a postcard, with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. It’s like the universe’s way of saying, ‘Yeah, you’re welcome.’ Inside, it’s peaceful and cool—perfect for a little escape from the hustle and heat of the city. Whether you’re here to say a prayer or just take in the beauty, the Mountain Church delivers. So, if you’re in Nha Trang, make the climb. Your soul (and your camera roll) will thank you.

English below! Nhà thờ Núi (tên chính thức là: Nhà thờ chính tòa Kitô Vua) là một nhà thờ Công giáo ở số 1 đường Thái Nguyên, phường Phước Tân, thành phố Nha Trang, tỉnh Khánh Hòa. Nhà thờ này còn có nhiều tên gọi bình dân như: Nhà thờ Nha Trang (vì trước đây nó thuộc họ đạo Nha Trang); Nhà thờ Đá (vì nó được xây bằng đá); Nhà thờ Ngã Sáu (vì nó tọa lạc gần một vòng xoay giao thông); nhưng phổ biến hơn cả là tên gọi Nhà thờ Núi (vì nó được xây trên một núi nhỏ).[1] Đây là nhà thờ chính tòa của Giáo phận Nha Trang. Nhà thờ Núi Nha Trang cách Hà Nội 1.288 km và cách Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh 438 km. Ngày 5 tháng 7 năm 1957 Giáo phận Nha Trang chính thức được thành lập từ việc chia tách Giáo phận Qui Nhơn nhưng mới chỉ là giáo phận tông tòa. Ngày 24 tháng 11 năm 1960, Giáo phận Nha Trang mới được nâng lên hàng giáo phận chính tòa, lúc này, Nhà thờ Nha Trang được chính thức được chọn làm nhà thờ chính tòa của giáo phận, họ đạo Nha Trang trở thành giáo xứ chính tòa. Nhà thờ này được xây dựng theo phong cách kiến trúc nhà thờ phương Tây. Nhìn tổng thể, công trình có bố cục chắc khỏe với những khối lập thể nhỏ dần từ thấp vươn cao, nổi bật giữa trời xanh. Điểm cao nhất là nơi đặt thánh giá trên đỉnh tháp chuông, cao 38 mét, tính từ mặt đường. -------------- Mountain Church (official name: Cathedral of Christ the King) is a Catholic church at No. 1 Thai Nguyen Street, Phuoc Tan Ward, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province. This church also has many popular names such as: Nha Trang Church (because it formerly belonged to the Nha Trang church); Stone Church (because it was built of stone); Nga Sau Church (because it is located near a traffic circle); but the most popular name is the Mountain Church (because it was built on a small mountain).[1] This is the cathedral of the Diocese of Nha Trang. Nha Trang Mountain Church is 1,288 km from Hanoi and 438 km from Ho Chi Minh City. On July 5, 1957, the Diocese of Nha Trang was officially established from the division of the Diocese of Qui Nhon but was only an apostolic diocese. On November 24, 1960, the Diocese of Nha Trang was newly elevated to the status of a cathedral diocese. At this time, Nha Trang Cathedral was officially chosen as the cathedral of the diocese, the Nha Trang parish became a parish court. This church was built in the style of Western church architecture. Overall, the building has a strong layout with gradually smaller cubic blocks rising from low to high, standing out in the blue sky. The highest point is where the cross is located at the top of the bell tower, 38 meters high, from the street level.

⭐️Vietnam's "Cathedral Museum," The "God" Turns Out to Be Him ✅"Three feet above is the divine, three feet below is the 'gatekeeper.' In Nha Trang, Vietnam, this grand cathedral has an interesting quirk. Upon entering, you encounter a donation box, which globally means a container to receive voluntary donations. However, the gatekeeper at the entrance demands 10,000 VND for entry. Google Maps reviews are flooded with complaints about this 'gatekeeper' extorting entry fees. In Vietnam, while you can report forced charges to the police, who would waste their time for about 0.5 USD? I obediently paid the 'ticket' fee, hoping to complain to the church staff or priest, only to find that the gatekeeper speaks the best English in the entire cathedral. So how can a mere complaint resolve this? Why not just boldly rename the church to 'Nha Trang Cathedral Museum'? ✅My visit to Nha Trang Cathedral was fraught with difficulties. On the first day, I arrived on a Sunday and was told by the gatekeeper that entry was at 10:00 due to worship. I visited another site and returned at around 12:00, only to find that it reopened at 14:00. Maps indicated that the cathedral has a daily lunch break. So, is it the 'divine' resting or the gatekeeper needing a nap? ✅The next day, I returned dressed in a tank top and long pants, but was stopped again, being told I needed to cover my shoulders and arms. I went back to the hotel for a shawl and returned, only to face the gatekeeper's grin and the forced ticket fee situation. There seems to be no 'divine,' only the gatekeeper exercising his supreme power, indulging and enjoying it.

I arrived at 3:45, but the security guard at the entrance wouldn't let me in. Even though other foreigners kept coming besides us, he also stopped them. I tried showing him the clock and telling him it wasn't time to close yet, but it was no use. Not only us but everyone else took a taxi, but it was in vain. It says that entry is allowed between 2:00 and 4:15 p.m. So when is the actual entry time? I was sad that I couldn't go back and sat outside, but I saw quite a few people outside not being able to go in. Maybe they and I didn't see the sign. I won't have to go again, but I don't want other people who come in the future to be in vain. How many minutes before the entrance time can visitors enter? In a visible location, clearly inform visitors of your actual opening times. It would have been better to have been able to go in and see the inside, but even though I stayed outside for a while, I could see that it was a wonderful and pious place.

I have been struggling with back and neck pain and found a god send of a healer just around the corner of this church. One day after leaving a session I was overwhelmed with emotions and stumbled upon this church. I grew up in a church but have not renewed my relationship with god for a while now. When I set food on the grounds I suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and peace. I saw the people of worship and walked into the chapel and praying hall. It was right after a service so it was quite empty. I sat down and said a prayer to the lord thanked him for my calling to be living in Vietnam and finding a healer for my pain. Now every time after my healing sessions I would come here after and just sit and have a little conversation with our lord.

Returning to this spot on my Nha Trang trip brought back wonderful memories. I had visited this church a few years ago and was captivated by its serene ambiance and beautiful architecture. The statues depicting Jesus' journey, along with his companions carrying the giant cross, added a profound touch. Inside, the church is impeccably maintained, featuring comfortable benches, and the guests exuded politeness and respect. It's heartening to witness such a place. Though I refrained from taking too many pictures during my visit on Tet holiday due to the bustling atmosphere, it remains a charming place. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance to explore Nha Trang.
