Domaine de Marie

It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Đà Lạt and contains a nunnery which operates schooling for local children.

[1][2] The cathedral in the Domaine holds the remains of Suzanne Humbert, wife of Jean Decoux (Governor-General of French Indochina from July 1940 to 9 March 1945), who died in a traffic accident in 1944.

[5] The French influence can be seen in the walls that allow a "creative manipulation of lights" with the various roofs of the complex designed in the style of the Nha Rong, a type of stilt house typical of the Central Highlands area of Vietnam.

[5] As of 2007, 23 nuns of the order of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul still live in the convent, along with numerous young women and children that are hard-of-hearing.

Having cleared the area on the top of the hill, 30 nuns arrived at the end of October 1941 from various locations around the French Indochinese colonies.
