In 1876 the Italian architect Federico Roncetti presented / displayed a project in neo-Renaissance style, that was refused. The current building of the cathedral began to be built only in 1884. The project was commissioned from the Bahian engineer and architect Francisco Caminhoá, who conceived a neo-Gothic style building, very fashionable at the time, especially inspired by the old cathedrals of northern France.

The product was distributed through wagons, cars pulled by animals etc., and sales were made directly. Later, sales were made through dealers in the region of Petrópolis, a mountain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro.
