Saint-Brieuc Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Saint-Brieuc, France.

The cathedral features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, displaying the characteristics of traditional Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction of Saint-Brieuc Cathedral began in 1220, and the structure received classification as a historical monument in 1906 under French heritage protection laws.

The cathedral houses a Renaissance organ buffet from the 16th century and a 19th-century Cavaillé-Coll organ, both recognized for their musical and historical value.

The cathedral stands at Place du Martray in the medieval quarter, surrounded by timber-framed houses and accessible through the city center's pedestrian paths.
