Located on a vast plateau, the century old wooden church in Kon Tum has always been the pride of the people - and in recent years has gained in popularity as a tourist destination. The wooden church was built between 1913 and 1918 by French priest Guise Decrouille. It also has a guest house and art gallery displaying photos and artifacts from the local ethnic people.
