Versailles Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Versailles, France
Versailles Cathedral is a classical structure featuring symmetrical facades, columns, and a grand stone dome. Its interior is filled with religious artworks and multiple altars arranged throughout the space.
Construction began in 1742 under King Louis XV, transforming an earlier parish church into a major place of worship beside the Palace of Versailles.
The interior holds religious artworks depicting biblical scenes that reflect the devotion of local worshippers. Visitors can still see how these works shaped the spiritual life of the community.
The site is easily reached by public transportation and within walking distance of other attractions in the area. Regular religious services happen throughout the week, and guided visits are available on certain days.
The architecture was deliberately designed so that natural light illuminates the altar at specific times of day. This effect was an 18th-century way of using light to enhance religious services.
