Шаблон:Expand Vietnamese Шаблон:Infobox churchШаблон:Maplink The Christ the King Cathedral[1] (Шаблон:Lang-vi; Шаблон:Lang-fr), also called Nha Trang Cathedral (Шаблон:Lang-vi; Шаблон:Lang-fr), is the mother church of the Catholic Diocese of Nha Trang in central Vietnam.[2]

The parish was founded in 1886 by French missionaries. The present church was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1928 as a parish, depending on the Apostolic Vicariate of Quinhon. It was consecrated on Easter 1930 under the title of "Christ the King". Then she was attended by a famous French priest in the Foreign Missions of Paris, Louis Vallet (1869-1945), who is buried next and devoted his life to his parishioners.

When the apostolic vicariate was erected in 1957 and the diocese created in 1960, with Monsignor Paquet, from the Foreign Missions, as the first bishop, the church was chosen as the cathedral.

The cathedral, very well located in the upper part of this coastal city, has a remarkable amount of stained glass windows depicting saints, including several French saints, as St. Joan of Arc,[3] and St. John Vianney, and also episodes from the life of Jesus.
