Langres Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Langres, France.

The cathedral features massive stone walls, semicircular arches, and a symmetrical layout spanning 94 meters in length and 43 meters in width.

Construction started in 1150 under Bishop Geoffroy de La Roche-Vanneau, with initial completion of the main structure achieved by 1196.

The cathedral received the sacred relic of Saint Mammes' head in 1209, establishing its significance as a religious destination in eastern France.

The interior contains multiple architectural styles, from Romanesque elements in the nave to Renaissance features in the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

The classical western facade, rebuilt between 1761 and 1768, displays three distinct column orders: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian.
