The iconic “Pink Church” in Ho Chi Minh City is actually called Tan Dinh Church and is located near the city centre in District 3. In addition to its remarkable colour, it is one of the city’s oldest and most important Roman Catholic institutions. The history of Tan Dinh Church may be traced back to 1874, when a Catholic mission was set up here under Father Donatien Éveillard (1835–1883). It was Éveillard who supervised the construction of the first church, which cost 15,000 piastres (38,000 Francs) and was inaugurated in December 1876. In 1957, the church was repainted in the iconic pink colour (salmon pink on the outside, strawberries and cream on the inside) which has made it a popular attraction in the southern city.
