Catedral Sao Paulo Apostolo - Igreja Matriz, Blumenau

4.6
#1 of 22 in Sightseeing in Blumenau
Architectural Building Church
Catedral Sao Paulo Apostolo - Igreja Matriz is very different from traditional churches, exhibiting more modern architecture. Opened in 1958 and designed by Gottfried Boehm, the church has a tower 45 meters (148 feet) high and three electronic bells. It was built with stones of red granite and stained glass windows that produce a brilliant light and colors. At the entrance, you will be greeted by a cedar carving depicting Our Lady, Christ Crucified, San Jose, and the Paschal Lamb. Symbolically, they represent family, forgiveness, community, and sacrifice. Once inside, two rows of white pillars on either side welcome you to rest and reflect.

  • A beautiful architecture. Imposing. The Church is well located. Has a large Bell and clock at the top of a tower. The Church is well lit and modern.

  • Worth knowing for whom is already walking and knowing the historical city centre. Is not necessary!
