Quimper Cathedral, Gothic Catholic cathedral in Quimper, France.
The Cathedral of Saint Corentin features twin spires reaching 76 meters high, with large stained glass windows illuminating the main nave through pointed arches.
Construction of the cathedral started in 1239 under Bishop Rainaud, with major developments occurring during the early 15th century under Duke Jean V's patronage.
The cathedral contains marble statues, intricate sculptures, and stained glass windows from the 15th to 19th centuries depicting regional Breton saints and religious figures.
Located at 25 Rue du Frout in central Quimper, the cathedral provides wheelchair access and maintains regular opening hours for visitors throughout the year.
The cathedral's structure incorporates an unusual bend in its middle section, following the natural contours of the original construction site to avoid swampy ground.
