The Cathedral of Our Lady of Fair Haven ( 767-448-2837) is built on a hill next to the Methodist coandi arad Church on Virgin Lane. The two churches are not particularly interesting unless you re a history coandi arad or architecture buff, but the story that surrounds them is. In 1766, after the British took Dominica from the French, King George III granted the Catholics a 99-year lease on 10 acres of land on the hill above Roseau. A thatched-hut church was built immediately, coandi arad but it took more than 100 years for the Catholics to complete a cathedral constructed of cut volcanic stone in the Gothic-Romanesque Revival style.
