Noyon Cathedral, Early Gothic cathedral in Noyon, France
The cathedral stretches 105 meters in length with a 23-meter-high nave vault supported by double-pointed and round-headed stone arches.
Construction began in 1145 following a fire that destroyed the previous church, marking the transition period between Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles.
The cathedral served as the seat of the Bishopric of Noyon until 1801, when it merged with the Diocese of Beauvais through the Concordat.
The cathedral contains eleven interior bays and includes a western gallery with a cloister from 1230, decorated with statues of bishops.
A sound reflecting vault installed under the crossing of the cathedral arms modifies the acoustic properties of the building since 1838.
