Bourg-en-Bresse Cathedral, Catholic co-cathedral in Bourg-en-Bresse, France

The cathedral features a 70-meter-high bell tower and combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its stone construction and interior spaces.

The religious structure evolved from a chapel mentioned in 1258 to its current form, with construction beginning in 1505 and extending until the late 17th century.

The cathedral houses notable artworks, including an oil painting Pietà by Anne Bricollet from 1785 and numerous religious statues in its main hall.

The cathedral stands at Place Georges-Clemenceau in central Bourg-en-Bresse and offers free entry to visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.

The cathedral received special recognition in 2023 through the Heritage Mission for urgent restoration of its roof, framework, and protection against water infiltration.
