Lille Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Lille, France

The Cathedral Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille exhibits Gothic Revival characteristics through its 30-meter high central ogive and intricate metal framework supporting white marble sheets.

The construction of this religious edifice started in 1854 and stretched across multiple decades until its completion in 1999 due to financial limitations and wartime interruptions.

The cathedral houses a venerated 12th-century statue of the Virgin Mary, which has been the center of annual processions since the medieval period.

Located in the heart of Lille, the cathedral opens its doors for regular mass services and welcomes visitors interested in religious art and architecture.

The modern facade incorporates translucent marble panels that create an orange-pink glow when sunlight filters through the stone material.
