Nativity of Our Lady Cathedral, Bang Nok Khwaek

It is the cathedral of Ratchaburi Diocese (the former area division). It was built in 1890 (in 1890, during the reign of King Rama V) by Father Paul Salmon, a French missionary, to honor the birth of the Virgin Mary. It is considered a sacred place of worship for Roman Catholics. It is made of burnt bricks, and the walls are plastered with cement mixed with crushed sugarcane, which makes the exterior walls of the church gray. The construction style of the tall structure, with a pointed tower on top (used as a bell tower), makes the shape tall and slender towards the sky. The ceiling, door and window arches, and interior arches have unusual curves compared to other art forms. They are curves with an intersection at the top. The exterior design of the cathedral is beautifully proportioned. #FathersDayTravel
