Seat of the ancient bishopric of Chalon-sur-Saône, St Vincent’s Cathedral stands in one of the liveliest squares of the old town ; the Place Saint Vincent.

Built from 1090 onwards, today’s St Vincent’s Cathedral was first of all constructed in a Romanesque style strongly influenced by the architecture of Cluny Abbey.

With a rich and complex history, St Vincent’s Cathedral is also characterised by Gothic architecture and has a neo-gothic façade. The latter is undergoing restoration at the moment.

Inside the cathedral is a fine Brussels tapestry dating from 1510, and also Romanesque capitals, a 16 th century stained glass window and several rare statues
