Explore Kon Tum’s Historic Wooden Church and Cultural Sites
One of the standout highlights of your city tour in Kon Tum is the magnificent Wooden Church, a unique architectural gem built in 1913 by French missionaries. Lovingly restored in the 1990s, the church beautifully blends Romanesque architecture with traditional Ba Na ethnic elements, making it a must-visit landmark.
Just behind the cathedral lies the Kon Tum Rong House, a striking traditional communal building, and the Vinh Son Orphanage, where visitors are welcome to spend time with the children. The staff appreciates any form of support, including gifts or monetary donations.
Right next door, you’ll also find the Catholic Seminary School and the Minorities Museum, which showcase fascinating aspects of local ethnic culture through exhibitions, photographs, and traditional artifacts. These visits offer insight into Kon Tum’s spiritual, communal, and cultural heritage.
