Moulins Cathedral
Moulins Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Moulins, France.
Description
Moulins Cathedral is a church in the center of Moulins with an 81-meter spire that marks the city skyline. The structure blends late Gothic elements with neo-Gothic sections, featuring notable stained glass windows and architectural details throughout.
History
The church was built in two phases: the flamboyant Gothic section dates from the late 15th century, while the neo-Gothic nave was added in the 19th century. This timeline reveals how the building evolved across different eras.
Culture
The cathedral houses the Moulins Triptych, a masterwork of medieval French religious art created around 1500 that reflects the artistic values of its time. This painting demonstrates the central role that sacred imagery played in the region's cultural life.
Practical
Visitors can enter throughout the year, with regular Catholic services taking place inside. Taking time to walk slowly through the interior allows you to fully appreciate the stained glass windows and architectural features.
Did you know?
Architect Jean-Baptiste Lassus created a rare example here where both original Gothic and new neo-Gothic sections exist side by side. This arrangement lets visitors directly compare two different building styles within a single structure.
