Condom Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Condom, France.
Saint-Pierre Cathedral is a Gothic structure featuring a square tower and buttresses supporting the broad nave, which is lit by clerestory windows filled with grisaille glass throughout. The building displays typical Gothic proportions and detailed architectural elements.
Construction took place between 1506 and 1531, replacing an earlier structure demolished in 1368. The building underwent major reconstruction following the collapse of its bell tower.
The west facade displays carved representations of the Four Evangelists in its tympanum, while the choir vault features bosses depicting musical angels.
The cathedral sits on a hilltop above the Baïse River in central Condom and is accessible along one of the pilgrimage routes to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. This central location makes it easy to visit and explore other parts of the town.
Inside stands an original stone pulpit with carved canopy dating from the initial construction phase. This rare furnishing is complemented by a neo-Gothic openwork screen from 1844 that separates the choir from the ambulatory.
