How Sa Pa Stone Church is unique?

Choosing the right place and direction of the church always has a spiritual significance that is so important to Catholics. The ancient Sa Pa stone church was built with its head facing the sunrise – east because they came here to welcome the light of God. At the end of the church is the bell tower towards the west – the birthplace of Christ.

The architecture of the church was built according to the Roman Gotic with roofs, arches and bell towers… All have the shape of the pyramid to make the work elegant, soaring. The entire church is built of stone and linked together by a mixture of limestone, sand, molasses. The wall of the right side of the crucifix is made of sandstone that resembles stalactites as a relic bearing a very natural beauty.

The ceiling of the Church made of straw lime has been refurbished in separate parts of the bell tower made of a mixture of lime, iron and straw remains the original state, and has not been repaired at all.
