Verdun Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Verdun, France
The cathedral exhibits Romanesque architecture with two bell towers, wide transepts, and a choir section that follows the Romano-Rhenish architectural plan.
The initial cathedral structure was established in 457 by Bishop Polychronius within the remnants of a Roman building at the present location.
The cathedral functions as the episcopal seat for the Diocese of Verdun, maintaining continuous religious services since its establishment in the 5th century.
Visitors can find the cathedral at 8 Rue Monseigneur Ginisty in Verdun, with guided tours available throughout the religious monument.
Lightning struck the cathedral on April 2, 1755, leading to substantial repairs that introduced Neo-Classical elements to the Romanesque structure.
