Mai Anh Church (Domaine De Marie)

About this location

Mai Anh Church - European Architectural Backdrop in the Heart of the Central Highlands Located in Xuan Huong Ward, Da Lat City, Lam Dong Province, Mai Anh Church (officially known as Domaine de Marie Church) is one of the most famous religious architectural complexes in the highland region. Built in the 1940s, the structure holds distinct historical and artistic value, standing majestically on the breezy Mai Anh hill. The architectural structure features 17th-century European style harmoniously combined with traditional Central Highlands communal house (nha rong) roof shapes. The striking visual highlights are the warm earthy pink lime-coated walls, the soaring steep roof system, and stained glass windows that capture full natural light. The combination of the unique pink tone, lush green lawns, and surrounding French-style flower park creates a multi-layered filming ground setup. The campus stretches across convent blocks, stone-arched corridors, and quiet flower gardens, exuding a nostalgic beauty and Da Lat's signature misty atmosphere. With its unique architectural aesthetic and cinematic space, the location is well-suited as a backdrop for period films, psychological and romantic dramas, youth films, TVCs, and artistic music video projects, subject to parish management regulations and filming permits.
