Because this is not only a harmonious and unique combination of Eastern and Western architectural art, but also a miracle that our ancestors left behind for future generations.

The church is made of mainly stone and wood. On each stone and wooden slab, flowers bloom with exquisite carvings. Most notably, the art of stone sculpture is extremely soft and flexible, with pieces of stone only 3.5cm thick. The entire architectural complex consists of 9 rafters with 9 different stages of workers, so each rafters has a distinct cultural feature, reflecting the rich aesthetics of skilled craftsmen. Furthermore, the church was built entirely of stone without the need for a reinforced concrete core. The most difficult part of this project is the foundation treatment. Because Kim Son is inherently a muddy alluvial land, Parish Priest Peter Tran Luc had to exploit and transport thousands of tons of stone from a mountain in Thanh Hoa to prevent subsidence, including blocks of stone weighing up to 20 kg. ton. At the same time, Mr. Luc also exploited and transported hundreds of ironwood trees from Nghe An mountain forests to build the project. However, what makes cultural researchers and architects fascinated about the Phat Diem Cathedral complex is the harmonious combination of Eastern pagoda architecture with Western Gothic architecture. Mr. Sau is the one who designed and created the church with extremely new details. It could also be because he was not a Christian but a Buddhist, so in his design, he had a very ingenious combination of Western church architecture and curved roof architecture like that of a communal house. in Buddhism. The artistic quintessence at Phat Diem stone church also clearly demonstrates the harmony between stone carving art and Vietnamese wood carving art, such as the symbol of the cross (symbol of Catholicism) sitting on the lotus (symbol of the Catholic religion). Buddhist symbols), Buddhist "swastika" letters engraved on rosary flowers, stone and wood reliefs carved with images of Jesus and saints; In which the saints dressed in Vietnamese style look so vivid but close, as familiar as watching folk paintings; The stone pillar carved in the shape of a lotus flower represents the stages of "birth - old age - illness - death" according to Buddhist philosophy.
