Rieux Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Rieux-Volvestre, France.
The cathedral features a tall octagonal bell tower rising to 43 meters with three tiers of windows grouped in characteristic Toulouse architectural style.
The cathedral became the seat of the Bishopric of Rieux from its foundation in 1317 until 1801 when it merged into the Archdiocese of Toulouse.
The interior choir, built during the 17th century, contains 61 walnut stalls with detailed carvings that demonstrate the craftsmanship of religious furniture makers.
Visitors can access the cathedral by parking at Pont Lajous and walking through the red brick streets of the medieval town center.
The cathedral walls measure three meters in thickness and include defensive features such as watchtowers and arrow slits from medieval military architecture.
