The oldest Catholic church in Singapore, the
Cathedral is also the revered home of the present
Archbishop. But when the church's foundation stone was
initially laid in 1843, little did people know that it would
be the centre of an architectural design showdown between
colonial architect-greats, D.L. Sweeney and J.T. Thomson.
Thomson's design was eventually chosen even though it was
considered more expensive than Sweeney's.
Charles Dyce, a
third architect, added the tower and spire to the design a
year later. The Cathedral was gazetted as a national
monument on 28 June 1973.
