Bandung Cathedral (Indonesian Gereja Katedral Bandung), officially Katedral Santo Petrus ("St. Peter's Cathedral"), is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bandung, located at Jalan Merdeka, Bandung, Indonesia. The building was designed by Wolff Schoemaker in Neogothic style. Bandung Cathedral has a land area of 2,385 m2 and building area of 785 m2.[2]
The first parish church, dedicated to St. Francis Regis, opened on June 16, 1895. After Bandung received the status of gemeente (municipality) in 1906, it was decided to build a new church building. Construction of the new building was started in 1921. The construction was finished in 1922 and the new cathedral was blessed on February 19, 1922, by Mgr. Edmundus Sybradus Luypen, Apostolic Vicar of Batavia.[2]
