Butare Cathedral

Butare Cathedral anchors the Roman Catholic Diocese of Butare and is one of the city's main architectural landmarks. Its appeal is quiet rather than ornate, but the building fits Huye's character: sober, civic, and closely tied to education and public life.

If the church is open, step inside briefly and keep your visit unobtrusive. Rwanda's churches carry heavy historical and social associations, so a respectful tone matters more than a camera full of pictures.
