Archdiocese of Papeete

The Archdiocese of Papeete serves as the seat of the Catholic Church in French Polynesia, occupying a charming colonial-era building with a distinctive red roof and white walls. The structure dates back to the 19th century and features a peaceful courtyard with palm trees. While primarily an administrative office, the archdiocese is open to visitors who wish to see its architecture and learn about the role of the Catholic Church in the islands. The nearby Cathedral of Notre Dame, where services are held, is often visited in conjunction. The archdiocese's location in central Papeete makes it an easy stop on a walking tour.
