    We couldn’t go in as it was closed, it is a religious place, not a tourist attraction, hence the opening hours are very limited. Car park available just opposite.

    Very nice hindu temple in the centre of Victoria not far from the clock tower. We were made to feel very welcome and the priest was very nice and blessed us. You can take pictures and on special occasions in the hindu calendar they have pooja in the evening and prasadi after. Definitely worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) The cathedral is included in the whole complex of buildings, which also consists of a theological seminary and the Anglican church of St. Peter. All three buildings are built at intervals of time, but in the same color scheme, and look as if they were a single whole. A wide staircase leads to the main entrance, you can also drive a little along the access road. The construction began in 1851, with the participation of missionary Leon Avancheshe, who arrived in Seychelles, to convert people to Catholicism. The project was designed by architect Gilbert m Frihot, and carved doors and the tabernacle-restored in 1995, the local sculptor Egbert Mardey. Beautiful, stained glass windows, massive doors with a pattern from the scenes of the Bible, the sculpture inside the temple, the decoration of the ceiling space, causes admiration and delight. 1874, but then repeatedly restored. The tomb of the only Seychelles Bishop-Félix Paul, who died on 11/21/2001, was not seen inside the cathedral, embedded in the floor and marked with the nameplate. Discharge to someone else's faith allowed us to take pictures outside, and literally but, at the entrance on December 8, the Seychelles celebrates the Immaculate Conception Day, and this festival is celebrated on the territory of the temple, especially, in a colorful and wide way. (Original) Собор входит в целый комплекс зданий, состоящий,также, из духовной семинарии и англиканской церкви Святого апостола Петра.Все три здания построены с интервалом во времени,но в одной цветовой гамме,и выглядят,как бы единым целым.Находится в центре живописного сада,к главному входу ведёт широкая лестница,также можно подъехать на автомобиле,по подъездной дороге,немного сбоку.Возведение началось в 1851 году,при участии миссионера Леона Аванше,прибывшего на Сейшелы,для обращения жителей в католицизм.Проект был разработан архитектором Гилбертом Фрихотом,а резные двери и скинии-востановил в 1995 году, местный скульптор Эгберт Мардей.Красивые,витражные окна,массивные двери с узором из сюжетов Библии,скульптуры внутри храма,убранство потолочного пространства-вызывает восхищение и восторг.Для прихожан храм открылся в 1874 году,но затем неоднократно реставрировался.Гробницу единственного сейшельского епископа-Феликса Пола,скончавшегося 21.11.2001г.,внутри собора,встроенной в полу и обозначенной табличкой,мы не увидели.Увыжение к чужой вере,позволило нам делать снимки снаружи,и буквально,при входе.8 декабря на Сейшелах отмечается День непорочного зачатия,и на территории храма этот праздник отмечается, особенно,красочно и широко.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the traditional structure of this temple especially coming from a place where such temples are not available. The deities and the navagiraha and the overall Temple is well built and maintained. Feel blessed and fortunate to have visited this temple. A must visit to all.

    (Translated by Google) Good day. We were in front of the temple on October 7, 2019, around 1.30 p.m. and unfortunately it is closed until 5 p.m., so I can't write much about what's inside, but from the outside, the building stands out because of its architecture compared to the rest of the buildings. Feet typical for India, elephants, etc. I must admit quite interestingly. It is worth seeing, and maybe you can get inside and it will be much more interesting. Kind regards (Original) Dzień dobry. Byliśmy pod świątynią 07.10.2019okolo godziny 13.30 i niestety do godziny 17.00chyba zamknięte, zatem niewiele mogę napisać co w środku natomiast z zewnątrz budynek wyróżnia się zdecydowanie architekturą na tle reszty zabudowań. Typowe dla Indii nóżki, słoniki itd. Dość ciekawie przyznam szczerze. Warto zobaczyć, a być może uda Wam się dostać do środka i będzie na pewno ciekawiej. Pozdrawiam serdecznie

    One of the most iconic places in the center of Victoria town, for tourist it's just one more sightings but I can tell you this temple is more than treat to your eyes or camera. This place is very strong and whenever I get inside or just cross the path I feel there's divine blessings from the Lord uppn me. Whenever I am down or in trouble I often visit this temple for God's blessings. I hope you get to feel the same when you visit there next time.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral with clean lines and decoration, colonial style, dating from the late nineteenth century. It was consecrated in 1874. A small chapel on the side is the rendezvous of Seychellois grannies who come to meet friends in the shade and in the calm and tranquility of the place. Note the bell tower, erected behind the cathedral and overlooking the city. (Original) Belle cathédrale aux lignes et à la décoration très épurés, de style coloniale, datant de la fin du XIXème. Elle a été consacrée en 1874. Une petite chapelle sur le côté est le rendez-vous de mamies seychelloises qui viennent se retrouver entre copines à l'ombre et dans le calme et la quiétude du lieu. A noter le clocher, érigé derrière la cathédrale et qui surplombe la ville.

    (Translated by Google) Small Hindu temple just off the clean and well maintained Victoria Market. Although the majority of the Seychelles population is of different religions (especially Christian), the temple is full of offerings (food and flowers), a sign that it is still used by the Indian minority and not only as a tourist attraction. (Original) Piccolo tempio indù appena fuori dal mercato di Victoria pulito e ben tenuto. Anche se la maggioranza della popolazione delle Seychelles è di religione diversa (soprattutto cristiana) il tempio è pieno di offerte (cibo e fiori), segno che viene comunque utilizzato dalla minoranza indiana e non solo come attrazione turistica.

One may visit the temple. - take off your shoes and hat down, then you can get in. ... if you look around, have a little respect. Some people pray here. It is very unpleasant when tourists in the temple have to touch everything and are loud. I noticed this very negatively during our visit. (Original) Hübscher hinduistischer Tempel. Eher klein, aber gepflegt und farbenfroh. Offenbar von der hinduistischen Gemeinde gut frequentiert.

Es ist sehr unschön, wenn Touristen im Tempel alles anfassen müssen und laut sind. Das ist mir bei unserem Besuch sehr negativ aufgefallen.
