Never been to a Catholic church before. But this one really catches my eye. The gothic style of this building really suits the theme of the old Roman Catholic. My experience here was amazing. The vibes and the people here really make the atmosphere feel so unique.

(Translated by Google) Missing worship here, the last time is Christmas 2019 miss the Maria cave too Since the Covid-19 pandemic I have not been able to worship directly, usually online but not focused too hehe According to current health protocols, it is mandatory to wear masks, check the temperature, people who will participate in worship are limited, and social distancing is also applied. Hopefully this pandemic will end soon, everyone will be in normal and healthy condition, continue to have normal worship again (Original) Rindu ibadah disini, terakhir waktu Natalan 2019 doang rindu ke goa Maria nya juga Sejak pandemi covid-19 udah gabisa ibadah langsung, bisanya online tapi ngga fokus juga hehe Sesuai protokol kesehatan banget sekarang, wajib pakai masker, cek suhu, umat yang akan mengikuti ibadah dibatasi, social distancingnya juga diterapkan. Semoga pandemi ini segera berakhir, keadaan normal dan sehat semua, terus bisa ibadah normal lagii

Artistic church from Holland reign in Indonesia. Normally used for weekly mass, but in weekdays you still can go inside to pray or take pictures. There's a little museum beside the church. Free admission. You just have to write down your name in the guest book. Inside you can find the history of the church. And there's Maria cave to pray just beside of the church office. 10/10 would come back. (for pray or take pictures)

Praise the Lord! Attending a Mass here when I was in Jakarta. Love the Gothic style of the building. And the good news is, no need a registration to attend the Mass for visitors from outside Jakarta.

A Roman cathedral executed in neo-Gothic style around 1900 in central Jakarta. Nice paintings on the walls and rather poor lighting. The passage to the altar was closed.

The place is just AWESOME... Structure-wise it is awe-inspiring for me... I love the interior, its intricacies.. I like how solemn it is inside and how tourists come here to pray. It is every bit as classy as it looks... Across it is the grand mosque but I would never recommend tourists to go there.. All you ever get are glares and unfriendliness especially if you are brown. If you would really like to to check it out, wear something that covers every part of you esp if you are a woman. What I had on was a sleeveless top and long pants and even though I only intented to be outside it, people were glaring daggers on me....

(Translated by Google) The cathedral church is the most historic place of worship for Christians. The cathedral church is opposite the Istiqlal mosque in central Jakarta and close to the banteng field and Monas. But for 2021, January 1, the cathedral church is again in a tunnel project to the Istiqlal mosque so when the project is finished, pedestrians don't have to cross if they want to go to the cathedral church or the Istiqlal mosque and the project is planned to be completed in the next 5 months of 2021 .. .

Very well preserved cathedral as compared to the one in Europe’s the detail of the inside has shown how this is well maintained similarly to the Europe Catholic Churches. The churches is free entrance and right opposite of the biggest mosque in Asia. A great way to show different gait can co-exist within a close distance! Beautiful structure still preserved from outside and very surprise to see such structures remains standing in good condition in Indonesia being the Muslim dominance !

Amazing catholic church in Jakarta I guess

German-Dutch design. Has a calming effect while inside.

Jakarta Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is also the seat of the Roman Catholic archbishop of Jakarta, currently Archbishop Ignatius Suharyo Hardjoatmodjo. Its official name "The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption". This current cathedral was consecrated in 1901 and built in the neo-Gothic style, a common architectural style to build churches at that time. The Jakarta Cathedral is located in Central Jakarta near Merdeka Square and Merdeka Palace, right in-front of the cathedral stands the Istiqlal Mosque. After the arrival of Dutch East India Company in 1619, the Roman Catholic Church was banned in the Dutch East Indies and was limited to Flores and Timor. The Netherlands was known to support Protestantism and tried to limit the influence and authority of the Holy See. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Netherlands, including the Dutch East Indies and its other colonies, fell under the control of the French Empire. In 1806, Napoleon Bonaparte installed his Catholic younger brother Louis Napoleon as the king of the Netherlands. Since then, the Catholic Church has been free to operate in the Dutch East Indies.

I never miss to visit the Cathedral whenever I am in Jakarta. Always loved how serene and peaceful here. Anybody can visit the Cathedral but the church closes around 7pm but you can still visit the grounds until 9pm to see it from outside or take photos.

(Translated by Google) Increasingly growing day by day. The first church to use solar panels! (Original) Semakin hari semakin berkembang. Gereja pertama yg pake panel surya!

It have door open time for Misa shall check about it. Cathedral opposite of Mosque was wonderful harmony how Indonesia is diverse.

Stumbled upon this beautiful cathedral in Jakarta while was walking from the Gedung Pos Ibukota. Luckily it was open was could visit it from the inside as well. Such mesmerising architecture and the sheer size of the cathedral. It was so peaceful inside and it felt like I should just sit there for some more time. Would highly recommend visiting this cathedral when in Jakarta.

Visited the Jakarta Cathedral and was impressed. The architecture is stunning, and the interior is equally beautiful. It's a peaceful and spiritual place in the heart of the city. Whether you're a tourist or a local, it's worth a visit to experience the serenity and appreciate the cultural richness.

Absolutely beautiful and it was just amazing to see and with the mosque being right opposite, all of it felt like I was protected and at peace. The cathedral was just wow. We were lucky to also see a wedding happen there too. The murals and the energy were just great there.

Gothic style church. Access was easy and best to visit during day time when the crowd is less. Would recommend hiring a guide though. I had a good one which showed me various tourist attractions in Jakarta for less that 40$. Her contact : +62 882-6145-3614

Historical heritage church for the city of Jakarta and Indonesia, antique and magnificent

Miss this place.. Long time since pandemic not visit this Cathedral , have growing memory in here with my kids and still on going.... Still not allowed to go inside the Church for public , only special events. We can visit Gua Maria outside the Church with permission from security . Have new underground tunnel that connect Istiqlal Mosque with Cathedral .

Biggest church in Jakarta, beautiful building.

grandeur cathedral church, i am lucky enough to have the chance to join a full session of mass, which started at 4: 30p. m. Sunday afternoon, experienced this heart touching local religious event. Will recommend to my friends visiting Jakarta.

I attended a local mass in the Indonesian language. This is located at the heart of Jakarta where any catholic people can visit. I hope they also have english mass for other foreign catholic people who can understand and sing praises. We live by faith even if we don't understand anything we can praise the Lord.

(Translated by Google) It is sad that the Church, which is usually full and crowded with people attending mass, is now deserted in the midst of a pandemic. God help us I hope this pandemic will end soon (Original) Sedih rasanya Gereja yg biasanya penuh dan ramai dengan orang yg mengukuti misa kini di tengah pandemi Gereja menjadi sepi. Tuhan tolong kami semoga pandemi ini segera berakhir

One of Jakarta's cultural heritages, this Cathedral is the seat of the local diocese and features a history that traces back to the 19th century. As it is, if you're visiting Jakarta for the historical spots, it's worth a visit. As a tourist destination, the interior provides an unique view of how Gothic architecture and wood can blend. Not much to do in the exterior if you aren't Catholic. There's a Shrine of Mary, a large open area for congregations and a smaller chapel. When we visited the other facilities such as the library and the merchandise shop wasn't open, I'm unsure whether that's because of COVID or weekend or I came during Mass.

Really great holy atmosphere for faith and wisdom

It could be reached with public transportation. Near to pasar baru which is known as pusat kuliner.

After years of restrictions due to the pandemic, the church is now open on full capacity again. You can still use Belarasa to enter or just filling a google form on the entrance. Overall a great church, great service, great atmosphere.

Average experience. Such a shame that there was a wedding happening just as we were there. We were not allowed to enter the pues to walk around like we expected to, because of the ongoing wedding. Managed to take pictures from the rear only.

- Jakarta Cathedral is a Catholic Cathedral located in Centre of Jakarta, right in front of Istiqlal Mosque. - The building has a gothic style architecture, with high ceiling and concrete walls

Being located directly across the road from Jakarta’s largest mosque, Istiqlal Mosque, this beautiful neo-gothic Catholic cathedral serves a very important symbol of unity and tolerance in Indonesia where roughly 85% of the population is Muslim. Admission is free.

The architecture of the Cathedral Church is grand and majestic, with peaceful atmosphere that fosters spiritual growth.

Holy place. Make me feel calm, comfy, and peace. The main Catholic Church in Jakarta.

Iconic and majestic, little small than i think or when i watch it on tv. But, it was beautiful from architecture perspective specially inside. Detailing of interior, shape, chorinthian pillars, wood sculpture, decoration, mosaic, it's like back to middle ages. My first destination as we visitting Jakarta and attending a Eucharist for first time in this place. The atmosphere was very calm and sacred, everyone also friendly. For first time i saw holy water sprayed from spray device, i think it because post pandemic effect people try to minimilize spreading of the virus. People or congregation was so a lots, not included tourist from local or international no need much time to every seat inside to full. So came early, 30 minutes or more before it started. Parking area not to large so some use roadside to park. We park at Dinas Penerangan TNI AD RI and got charged IDR.10.000 each car. Food stall, culinary stand, lined at pedestrian way so u can try some food or drinks in or take away. Build from 1901 AD with Neo Gotic Architecture like in Europe, this building was a preserved by goverment and became a heritage. Well maintenance and clean as one of the icon of Jakarta.

Holy place foe Catholics. Jakarta Cathedral is also a historical tourist spot. Very calming and solemn when praying in here.

Good place with gothic architecture. Many tourists here. If you want to go there to follow an eucharist mass you should come earlier max 1 hour before the mass started so you can sit inside the church (not in the Plaza).

Very old cathedral built by Dutch ,have beautiful jesus and Mary statues . Quit place to worship not busy to enter Just located near istiqal mosque jakarta

Visited this beautiful place on my vacation to Jakarta and it was amazing! Inside is breathtaking with the cathedral ceilings and nice stain glass windows. Enjoyed the grounds and I think the outdoor space too. Overall, I would recommend stopping by this place for a visit.

(Translated by Google) Peaceful and calm and artistic building (Original) Damai dan tenang serta artistik bangunannya

One of the oldest and largest catholic church in Jakarta. Astounded by its vast and beautiful architecture. It's a bit crowded for weekly mass, driving is not recommended if you want to attend the mass. Never underestimate Jakarta's Weekend traffic. It's unpredictable and finding parking spot is exhausting. Just take public transport. It's just 5-7 mins walking from Juanda train station & Transjakarta bus shelter, easy and stress free.

The Jakarta Cathedral, also known as Gereja Katedral Jakarta, is a beautiful and historic Roman Catholic cathedral located in the heart of Jakarta, Indonesia. Built in the early 20th century, the cathedral has a stunning neo-gothic design and stands as a prominent landmark in the city. One of the most striking features of the cathedral is its exterior, with its tall spires and intricate architectural details. The interior is equally impressive, with high ceilings, stained glass windows, and stunning murals and frescoes. The cathedral can seat up to 3,000 worshippers and is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. One of the unique aspects of the Jakarta Cathedral is its blend of Indonesian and European influences. The cathedral was designed by a Dutch architect and built by Indonesian craftsmen, resulting in a fusion of styles that is truly one-of-a-kind. Overall, the Jakarta Cathedral is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Jakarta. Its beautiful architecture and rich history make it a truly memorable experience. Whether you are a devout Catholic or simply appreciate beautiful buildings, the Jakarta Cathedral is worth a visit.

This is the best place for praying i think (for catholic religion) The place so good So calm here So clean. Yaaa i know We can praying wherever we are. If you hvae catholic religion, i think you can come here and pray here.

Great gothic cathedral. Very beautiful and peaceful. The security guys are very strict. The sound system is also a bit trouble. Too much echo. But the church itself is very phenomenal.

(Translated by Google) A place for a silent witness to the growth of my faith experience so that he is still able to survive in the midst of various difficulties through the multi-dimensional crisis in the era of the Covid-19 Pandemic. A significant breakthrough is being able to attend the eucharistic mass online through the YouTube channel: Komsos Jakarta Cathedral.

This is a beautiful place. Architecture of church is so beautiful. You can pray in Maria cave. In Maria cave also have stone from lourdes. In katedral also have a museum.

it is good I could not go inside, but out side is worse visiting if you pass this area and visit The great mosque, I suggest to visit this Cathedral too

5/5 🌟. Worth visit to the Cathedral church at Jakarta. Historical place with very nice building, the church is open to public for visit. However it is reminded to keep the place clean and quiet if possible as it is a holy place.

Very beautiful church architecture and though I wasn't able to attend mass I was blessed to attend a marriage ceremony. Divine experience. The church staff are also very polite and helpful. They do their job meticulously and are always humble to help.

(Translated by Google) I do not like this.. (Original) Saya tidak suka ini..

Majestic building

I have to say that this cathedral is MAGNIFICIENT. There are many things that fascinated me. First, the location of this cathedral is right in front of the grand mosque of Istiqlal. It is how wonderful to see these two different worship place standing side by side. Second, the architecture is very beautiful. It has nice detail that you can see from the outside. The design, ornaments, and the details inside the cathedral are so fascinating. It really looked like the cathedrals in Europe. Once I step inside the cathedral, the atmosphere is so relaxing and quiet. You do not hear anything from the traffic outside. There is one strong scent that smells really good. It is the smells of the candle. I guess it is white candles. Also, the cathedral is quite big which can provide a lot of seats. This cathedral is really a good place for praying, if you are a Catholic, they always conduct prayers on Christmas day or other monthly and weekly prayer. I also recommend this place for those who are not going to pray here, like me. It is worth it to visit the biggest cathedral in Jakarta and admire the beauty and every aspect of this cathedral. This cathedral is open for public. So, anyone can visit Jakarta Cathedral to take photos or sit on the bench while admiring the art. They have a museum too if you want to explore more about this Cathedral. This is a must-go place if you are travelling in Jakarta.

Fabulous structure ! Cool inside definitely worth a visit , the structure is just amazing and the old artwork on the walls are definitely worth seeing the bells still ring on the hour and there are regular services - it has good access including ramp and steps to enter !

Very nice cathedral for a country where the majority is muslim and the peace comes together with the mosque just across the street

Calm place.... I visited this place today. Don't know history much. But looks like it's built in 15-16th century.

Beautiful cathedral to visit when in Jakarta. There was a wedding when we arrived so we were limited on what we could see. Nice free activity to do though.

Nice Rome catholic church in downtown. Good place to pray.

Jakarta Cathedral Church (The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven), is a large and old Roman Catholic church in Jakarta. This church building was inaugurated in 1901 and was built with neo-gothic architecture from Europe, which is the architecture that was very commonly used to build church buildings several centuries ago. The current church was designed and started by Pastor Antonius Dijkmans and the foundation stone was laid by Provicaris Carolus Wenneker. This work was then continued by Cuypers-Hulswit when Dijkmans could not continue, then it was inaugurated and blessed on April 21, 1901 by Mgr. Edmundus Sybradus Luypen, SJ, Apostolic Vicar of Jakarta. You can come to visit to worship, also pray in the Maria Cave (for Catholics), or just see the architectural beauty of the oldest cathedral church in Indonesia, and see its history at the Cathedral Museum there.

The best church in Jakarta. Has a large and spacious building, clean, with distinctive ornaments. There are museums about Church history and about Christians.

The biggest cathredal in Jakarta (probably). This neo gothic style architecture is similar like medieval Europe, and it is beautiful and blend perfectly with modern Jakarta. This complex divided into 2: museum and prayer site. Although you can not move freely in prayer site, you can ask and do many activities in the museum. You can learn many things from its history, and how gospel started in Indonesia

amazing church, one you cannot find in indonesia other than here. assassins creed players will enjoy the interior

A true masterpiece of modern day Asia. This is the seat of Roman Catholic Archbishop of Jakarta. The magnificent twin spires of Jakarta Cathedral is a sight to behold.

Held a wedding at this place was memorable. The place surely iconic. Cass Organizer

Symbol of tolerance

This is a historical site that preserve as cultural heritage. Gothic church building with steel tower resemble the mix of concrete architecture and steel art. However with all respect to the pastoral need, the new and additional buildings are not match with the elegant gothic style. The distance to each building also ruin the magestic aura of the old building. What a pity!

Its my first time seeing Catedral by myself. Usually, I go to Istiqlal mosque from the other side which near by busway station. But I came in perfect timing I guess, since the ambience and the weather is beautiful. I don't know exactly what is inside, but I love the building style. It has a Europe vibes. Btw, there is a new connecting underground tunnel from Istiqlal and The Catedral. Contain some paintings. But as long as I know, its still close for public. I don't know.
