Interesting facts about the CATHEDRAL OF OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION:

Diese imposante Kathedrale ist die Mutterkirche der katholischen Diözese der Seychellen. Die Kathedrale ist eine der ersten Adressen auf den Seychellen. Sie wurde an der Stelle gebaut, wo Vater Leon of Avanchers im März 1851 die erste Gruft errichtete, die der Jungfrau der unbefleckten Empfängnis gewidmet wurde.

The first and only bishop of the Seychelles, Felix Paul, who died on 21 November 2001, is buried in the cathedral in a grave in the ground. The grave is not visible, but its position is marked by a memorial plaque.

Over the years, the cathedral has undergone numerous renovations. From 1993 to 1994 it was completely renovated except for the exterior walls. The last renovation was completed in 1995, when local sculptor Egbert Marday designed the tabernacle and the carved doors.
