Chalon Cathedral

The cathedral features two symmetrical square towers reaching 42 meters in height, with statues of patron saints adorning their summits.

Construction began in 1090, incorporating Romanesque elements, while Gothic renovations between 1230 and 1429 introduced ribbed vaulting and clerestory chapels.

The cathedral, dedicated to Saint Vincent, patron of winemakers, contains a Brussels tapestry from 1510 and stained glass windows from the 16th century.

Visitors can examine a tactile model of the cathedral, and the recently restored cloister reopened to the public in December 2019.

The cathedral's grand organ, built by Karl-Joseph Riepp in the late 17th century, underwent modifications that reduced its number of keyboards.
