The Jakarta Cathedral, officially known as Gereja Santa Maria Pelindung Diangkat ke Surga, is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Its name translates to the Church of Our Lady of Assumption. The cathedral was consecrated in 1901 after being reconstructed on the same spot where the previous cathedral, built in 1829, had collapsed in 1890. The decision to rebuild on the same site was made by the prefecture, and they entrusted the design of the new church to Antonius Dijkman, a Jesuit priest.
