Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, Paramaribo

The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Peter and Paul, also called Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral, is a wooden Roman Catholic cathedral located in the centre of the capital city of Paramaribo, Suriname.

The Catholic congregation in the city originally used a church adapted in 1826 from a Dutch Jewish theatre built in 1809. As the years passed, the church became too small for the growing number of Catholics in the city. In 1882 the diocese decided to build the cathedral. It was consecrated in 1885, but the towers were not completed until 1901. A major restoration was completed in 2010 and the cathedral was re-opened. The cathedral was designated as a minor basilica by Pope Francis in 2014.
