Meaux Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Meaux, France

The Saint-Étienne Cathedral extends 85 meters in length and rises 68 meters high, featuring double ambulatory passages and radiating chapels around the choir.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1175, with significant modifications during the 13th century under Bishop Jean de Poincy leading to a complete Gothic redesign.

The cathedral holds the tomb of Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet and contains a grand organ dating from the 17th century with multiple registers across five manuals.

The cathedral maintains regular opening hours for visitors who can explore its interior spaces, including the choir surrounded by ornate iron gates.

The facade presents an asymmetrical design with an unfinished tower, a result of construction interruptions during the religious conflicts of 1562.
