Saint-Malo Cathedral

Saint-Malo Cathedral is a house of worship in the city center with mixed Romanesque and Gothic building elements. Its interior features a central nave, a crossing, and an altar decorated with bronze Evangelist symbols.

The original abbey was founded in 1108 and transformed into a cathedral in the 12th century, bringing the bishop's seat to the city. This change made it the religious center of the region.

The stained glass windows show moments from the city's religious history and local traditions that visitors notice while walking through. They tell stories of saints and important figures connected to this place.

The building sits at a central square in the old town, where it is easy to reach on foot. Access is straightforward and there is ample space nearby to stand and observe.

A white marble sculpture of the Virgin Mary from the 18th century is among the lesser known artworks that many visitors overlook. This quiet work has survived all of the building's major changes through the centuries.
