The Cathedral of 's Koningenwaarde, or Catodral of 's Koningenwaarde is one of the more important landmarks in the city of 's Koningenwaarde. It was the location for the coronations of every King or Queen since the establishment of the Kingdom of Batavia. For example the Coronation of King Arkadius IV. In the past, the building was also the setting for the speech from the throne, but this now takes place in the Paleys van Leopold I.
Upon his arrival in Batavia, the then named Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy played the organ of the cathedral. This marked the beginning of his march via the political road to the throne and the restoration of Batavia as a kingdom.
Royal Crypt
Under the cathedral is the Royal Crypt where several kings are buried:
- Jodocus van Haltna, Father of the Nation
- Queen Faya I
- King Arkadius I des Vinandy, reburied from a small grave at La Roche-Derrien

- Queen Fränzi-Ferdinanda I des Vinandy
- King Arkadius IV des Vinandy
- Esther Fatima Gudrid des Vinandy, wife of Arkadius IV
