Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, France.

The cathedral stands 24 meters tall and features triple arcades, blind arches, and fluted columns decorated with acanthus leaf motifs throughout its structure.

Built between 1150 and 1220, this cathedral served as the episcopal seat until the French Revolution when the diocese merged with Valence in 1801.

The interior displays 12th and 13th-century mosaics depicting Jerusalem, along with an 18th-century organ crafted by Charles Boisselin with 16 stops.

The cathedral maintains its position as a national monument in the Drôme department, allowing visitors to examine Provençal Romanesque architecture up close.

The name 'Trois-Châteaux' stems from a linguistic error derived from 'tricastinorum,' rather than referring to actual castles in the area.
