Built in 1929-1932, the Cai Be Catholic Church has the tallest bell tower of the Tien Giang Province, South Vietnam. It is 52m (171 ft) high. The bells weigh 400, 650, 800, 1000 and 2000kg respectively.

An interesting video of the church shows the details of the steeple including a close-up of the statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus that stands at the very top.
