The Assumption Church was built in 1821 and was designed and built by the French. The chapel adopts a relatively high rectangular structure, with red bricks on the outer wall and surrounding white buildings. The tall square tower flanks the main entrance. A high ceiling inside has many ornate decorations attached. The rose windows of the church are flanked by a pair of towers. The Rococo-style interior is very ornate, and its main decoration is the blue barrel-vaulted ceiling with golden stars on the ceiling. Photography is not allowed inside. Opposite the church is a tree-lined pedestrian square with several European-style buildings. These include the Assumption College and the Assumption Convent.

A cathedral hidden in an alley, Assumption Chapel, Bangkok
#ChristmasGreatPlaces2024
Although Thailand is a firm believer in Buddhism, there are still small-scale Catholic churches. Today, I walked to Shilongjun Road, close to Assumption University and the Oriental Hotel. There is a beautiful "Assumption Cathedral", also known as "Assumption Cathedral". Chapel" is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bangkok.
It is said that it was designed by a French architect, and even the materials were imported from France and Italy. The building's appearance is in the shape of a gable, consisting of two rectangular columns and a spire, and the outer wall is covered with red and white bricks.
The interior ceiling is high and gorgeous, and it is unconsciously solemn and solemn. It is very cool and quiet. The light shines through the colored glass, making it colorful and quite holy and beautiful.

Exploring the History and Faith at Assumption Cathedral
Recently, I visited Assumption Cathedral in Bangkok, and this majestic and beautiful church left a deep impression on me. Approaching the cathedral, I was first captivated by its grand exterior and elegant Gothic architectural style. Upon entering the church, the stained glass windows cast brilliant light and shadows, creating a sacred and serene atmosphere. Sitting on the pews, I quietly admired the intricate architectural details around me, feeling the passage of time in this place. There happened to be a mass that day, and the melodious hymns echoed through the hall, allowing me to experience the power of faith. This visit was not only an appreciation of architectural beauty but also a reflection on spirituality. Assumption Cathedral provides a place to feel peace and contemplation amidst the busy life of Bangkok, bringing an unparalleled sense of tranquility to my heart.
