Laval Cathedral, Romanesque cathedral in Laval, France
The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity stands between Place Hardy-de-Lévaré and Place de la Trémoille in central Laval, featuring both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.
Originally constructed as a chapel by monks from La Couture Abbey around 1070, the structure received cathedral status in 1855 when the Diocese of Laval was established.
The cathedral contains notable 17th-century tapestries depicting biblical scenes, which were stolen and later recovered in the 1990s.
The building serves as the primary religious center for the Diocese of Laval, which encompasses 31 parishes across 5,175 square kilometers.
The cathedral's bell tower, with its base dating to the 12th century, received additional height in 1905 to align with Neo-Romanesque architectural preferences.
