Stamp information: Catholicism was introduced into Viet Nam in the first decades of the sixteenth century, with many activities associated with cultural integration, especially in regional and national culture.
In the material culture, the adaptation, integration and acculturation with the indigenous culture of the Catholic culture is evident in the field of architecture, focusing mainly on the church, from the master plan organization, architectural forms, structural solutions to fine art decoration and use of materials. So far, the number of Vietnamese churches is quite large and stretching across regions, considered as architectural works showing a unique European-Asian combination.
