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

The cathedral features intricate architectural elements, including large stained glass windows, a prominent bell tower, and detailed sculptural decorations throughout its structure.

Construction began in 1052 with a Romanesque chapel, but after fire damage in 1200, the cathedral underwent extensive Gothic reconstruction spanning from the 13th to 16th centuries.

Religious ceremonies, musical performances, and art exhibitions take place regularly in this former seat of the Bishop of Saint-Omer, now part of the Diocese of Arras.

The cathedral opens its doors for guided tours organized by the Pays d'Art et d'Histoire between May and September, allowing visitors to explore its architectural details.

The western tower was constructed around the original Romanesque tower between 1473 and 1521, incorporating elements from the Abbey Church of Saint-Bertin.
