Tulle Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Tulle, France
The cathedral features three floors with an octagonal spire reaching 75 meters high, accompanied by bell towers and Romanesque pillars throughout the structure.
The cathedral originated from a Merovingian abbey, with construction starting in 1103 under Abbot Guillaume de Carbonnières and receiving cathedral status from Pope John XXII in 1317.
The cathedral's cloister section from the 13th century now functions as the Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions, displaying regional artifacts and heritage items.
The cathedral houses six bells, with the largest one weighing 2,000 kilograms and cast in 1632, remaining operational for religious ceremonies.
During the French Revolution in 1793, the cathedral transformed into a cannon factory after being closed for worship and celebrating the cult of the goddess Raison.
