The highest cross of the church is attached a statue of a Chicken made of a light and empty alloy and covered with a layer of special chemicals. This creates impressive highlights for the church. Also, the name “Chicken Church” has been called since that time. The 0, 66 – meter- long and 0.58 – meter -tall statue is placed on a ball bearing rotating shaft that can move in the direction of wind. In addition, the statue is regarded as a lightning rod protecting the church’s project from the harmful effects of nature over years.
The "Chicken Church" began to be built in the year 1931 and it has been built for 11 years with 3 stages and was inaugurated on January 25th, 1942. As most of the buildings of the Vietnam of Indochina, the stained glass windows were brought directly from France, 70 stained glass to be exact.
The building measures 65 meters long, 47 meters high and 14 meters wide, which makes this Cathedral the largest church in Dalat.
And this was the first time I came here with my family, the Church is really wonderful!
