Nhà thờ giáo xứ Thái Hà is a historic Catholic parish church established in 1938 by the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists). The site serves as the center of the Redemptorist community in Hanoi and is noted for its colonial-era architectural influence. The complex includes the main sanctuary and various administrative buildings serving the local parish. It remains an active religious site with a heavy emphasis on community gathering and liturgical events. The structure retains its original spatial configuration despite various renovations throughout the decades.
