The pink church in Ho Chi Minh City - Tan Dinh Church

Tan Dinh Church (Tân Định Church) is a Roman Catholic church in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Its formal name is the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It is the second-largest church in Ho Chi Minh City, after Notre-Dame Basilica in District 1. They both belong to the Archdiocese of Ho Chi Minh City.

It was built during the French colonial period in the 1870s and completed on 16 December 1876, when Vietnam was part of French Indochina. The architecture is mainly neo-Romanesque, but it also has some neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance elements.

It has been painted pastel-pink both on the exterior and interior since 1957, earning it the nickname "the pink church".
