Made just with wood, the cathedral is one of the most beautiful places in Paramaribo. Most the days is open at morning time. Once a month they have a concert there. Is a must when visiting Paramaribo More

Seen many cathedrals but I was stunned by this one. The structure is entirely made of wood and inside the wood is kept in its natural state. Breath-taking in its simplicity. More
