Chambéry Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Chambéry, France.

The cathedral exhibits vertical spires, pointed arches, and flying buttresses, supported by 30,000 wooden poles due to its marshy foundation.

Beginning as a Franciscan chapel in the 15th century, the structure gained cathedral status in 1779 before becoming an archbishopric in 1817.

The interior walls display 6,000 square meters of trompe-l'œil paintings created by artists Sevesi and Vicario during the 19th century.

The cathedral opens daily for religious services and guided tours, offering visitors insights into its architectural features and historical significance.

A 35-meter-long labyrinth pattern, initially installed between 1860 and 1870 and reconstructed in 1989, decorates the cathedral floor.
