What is outstanding about Citeaux My Ca Monastery?

Citeaux My Ca Monastery is a miniature complex consisting of a church, a two-story building and two small houses behind. The monastery is imbued with Gothic architecture with a pointed dome design, a large church system and impressive with many large windows. Thanks to the main components from the roof down are the live, tapered, pointed domes, so the Citeaux My Ca monastery appears like a European castle standing on the green beach.

Not only featuring the quintessential French architecture and ingenuity, Citeaux My Ca Monastery also attracts attention when located right next to the romantic Cam Ranh Bay. It has both outstanding architecture and a convenient location for tourism development, but when it comes to this monastery, many tourists when coming to Nha Trang or Cam Ranh are surprised and unfamiliar. .

Since when did Citeaux My Ca Monastery exist?

Citeaux My Ca Monastery was built in about four years, from 1934 to 1938. Previously, this area was just a remote fishing village of Cam Ranh, until the arrival of priests of the Order. After watching Lérins in France, this place really “changed flesh”. In particular, before the construction of Long Ho bridge, to reach Citeaux My Ca monastery, people only had one way to travel was by boat.

Then, due to the effects of the war, Citeaux My Ca monastery was forced to move and was almost abandoned for a long time. Perhaps that is why until now, when having the opportunity to see Citeaux My Ca Monastery, visitors from all over the world feel the attraction from the magical beauty of this place.

Although at present, Citeaux My Ca Monastery must be a tourist destination that you can comfortably visit and visit, but for many Cam Ranh residents or tourists to visit, Citeaux My Ca monastery is still the one of the typical Gothic architectural works not to be missed in Vietnam.
