Cathédrale Notre-Dame-en-Cité d'Arras, Gothic cathedral in Arras, France

The cathedral features a Latin cross layout with a primitive Gothic style choir and transept, incorporating architectural elements from multiple periods.

Construction began in 1160 during Arras's textile industry prosperity, with completion and consecration occurring in 1484 after several interruptions.

The cathedral's crypt contained the Aurora Chapel, marking the location of a reported Virgin Mary apparition in 1105 during an epidemic.

The cathedral no longer exists, but architectural elements and historical documentation are preserved in the Arras Museum of Fine Arts.

Louis de Bourbon, legitimized son of Louis XIV, received burial in the cathedral's choir after his death in Kortrijk in 1683.
