Le Havre Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Le Havre, France.

The cathedral exhibits both Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, with a broad facade and a belltower dating from 1520 on its western side.

The cathedral construction began in 1575, and it remains one of the few structures that withstood the extensive destruction of Le Havre during World War II.

Cardinal de Richelieu presented the cathedral with refined church organs in 1637, which continue to resonate within its walls during religious ceremonies.

The cathedral maintains regular visiting hours and serves as the seat of the Bishop of Le Havre since the creation of the diocese in 1974.

The structure features an unusually low design due to the unstable ground conditions beneath its foundations in the coastal city.
