Description and is it worth visiting
Sapa Catholic Church, also known as the Stone Church of Sapa (Stone Church of Sapa) or the Church of the Holy Rosary (Holy Rosary), and also Notre Dame Cathedral – is not only a historical and architectural attraction in Sapa, but also an important landmark for tourists. It is located almost in the very center next to the square, and from here local buses and minivans depart to Lao Cai and other nearby cities. There is also a taxi parking lot here. Locals may explain the location of a particular place relative to the church.
As for the attraction itself, the church was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Before construction, the architect paid special attention to choosing a site for the building, and as a result chose a location in the very center of the city at the intersection of main roads. The building is completely built of stone.
During its not very long existence, the church stopped functioning several times and even served as a storage for rice harvests at one time. Today the church even has its own website http://sapachurch.org
