The Immaculate Conception Cathedral is the mother church for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Pondicherry and Cuddalore. It is located in Pondicherry. In 1692 with financial help from Louis XIV who was the king of France at the time erected a church which was later demolished by the Dutch. In 1699 another church was quickly built but didn't last long so in 1728 until 1736 a large church was built and later torn down by the British during the Seven Year War in 1761. The Immaculate Conception Cathedral has been torn down three times, the church that is there was completed in 1791 and has been standing for around 300 years.
