Senez Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Senez, France.

The Cathedral Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption features Romanesque architecture with a prominent west wall sundial from 1673 and carved wooden altarpieces inside.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1176 and lasted until 1246, with Protestant forces later destroying its bell tower during religious conflicts.

The cathedral contains multiple Aubusson tapestries from the late 17th century and one Audemar of Enghien tapestry from the late 16th century.

The cathedral stands in a village of fewer than 200 residents in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, at coordinates 43°54'47"N and 6°24'24"E.

Napoleon Bonaparte stopped at this cathedral on March 3, 1815, during his journey north and expressed appreciation for its tapestry collection.
