Saint-Pol-de-Léon Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Saint-Pol-de-Léon, France
The Saint-Paul-Aurélien Cathedral features two asymmetrical towers reaching 55 meters high and displays Norman architectural influences on its limestone western façade.
The cathedral's construction began in 1230 after previous structures were destroyed by Danish raids in 875 and English forces under King Henry II in 1170.
The cathedral holds a collection of skull boxes, following a regional Breton tradition of storing the remains of deceased individuals within the religious space.
Located at Place du Parvis in Saint-Pol-de-Léon center, the cathedral maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
The Great Organ, constructed between 1657 and 1660, contains 2118 pipes and represents a significant musical heritage within the cathedral walls.
