Our Lady Cathedral , Sees. Pl. du Général de Gaulle, 61500 Sées, France . Such an amazing Cathedral with fantastic architecture definitely well worth a visit as is this such lovely quaint town . One of the best cathedrals I’ve been in . From Wikipedia : The cathedral was declared a basilica minor on 7 March 1871.[1] The Gothic cathedral dates from the 13th and 14th century and occupies the site of three earlier churches. The west front, which is disfigured by the buttresses projecting beyond it, has two stately spires of open work 230 ft. high. The nave was built towards the end of the 13th century. The choir, built soon afterward, is remarkable for the lightness of its construction. In the choir are four bas-reliefs of great beauty representing scenes in the life of the Virgin Mary; and the altar is adorned with another depicting the removal of the relics of Saints Gervais and Protais. The church has constantly been the object of restoration and reconstruction. In 1875 it was declared a monument historique.[2] The cathedral has a magnificent organ by Cavaille-Coll which has recently been restored. Sunday afternoon recitals are held during July and August. The choir organ is also by the same maker. In 2015, during restoration work on the North Tower, three new bells...

La majeure partie de l’actuelle cathédrale gothique Notre-Dame de Sées est édifiée à partir de 1210 pour se terminer au début du XIVe. En effet, plusieurs cathédrales ont été érigées à cet endroit, la première vers 440 mais détruite par les vikings à environ 900. La seconde ressort de ces ruines à partir de 986 pour céder en 1050 suite à un incendie. Le chantier de la troisième commence en 1053 mais elle est une nouvelle fois incendiée en 1174. Diverses restaurations auront lieu ensuite en raison de la guerre de cent ans et des nombreuses guerres de religion. C’est pourquoi l’on peut considérer que si la structure de la cathédrale est bien ancienne, un peu plus de la moitié du revêtement extérieur date du XIXe.

Une fois à l’intérieur on a tout de suite cette sensation d’immensité (il faut dire qu’elle fait près de 84m de long, haute sous la nef de 24m, et les tours hautes de 70m…). Sur la rosace sud on retrouve Jésus-Christ et les douze apôtres, sur la rosace nord Jésus en croix. Cinq chapelles sont présentes dans le chœur, elle sont consacrées à St Nicolas, St Godegrand, au Saint-Sacrement, Saint Augustin et Sainte Madeleine. Si l’orgue date de 1743, l’Ange de la cathédrale est quant à lui récent car il date de 2013.

Ayant eu l’occasion d’y aller pendant la période de Noël, j’ai pu admirer la crèche (sans Jésus puisque c’était avant le 25 décembre) et apprécier la quiétude s’y dégageant (regardez et écoutez la vidéo, c’est comme si vous y étiez…).

Pour la petite histoire, la scène du couronnement du roi de France dans le film Jeanne d’Arc de Luc Besson a été tournée dans cette cathédrale.

Alors si vous passez par cette petite ville de moins de 5000 habitants (située à une sortie d’autoroute), arrêtez-vous et entrez dans ce...

• Servizio: Nessuna guida necessaria – la bellezza parla da sé. • Qualità: Architettura gotica sorprendentemente armoniosa. • Interesse storico/culturale: Altissimo – un gioiello medievale della Normandia.

La Cattedrale di Notre-Dame de Sées è una meraviglia inaspettata, che si erge con grazia e imponenza nel cuore della cittadina omonima. Le sue due torri gemelle, snelle e traforate, svettano nel cielo normanno come dita di pietra rivolte al divino. L’esterno è un raffinato esempio di gotico normanno, ma è all’interno che si respira davvero la sacralità del luogo.

La luce filtra dai finestroni con vetri colorati e si deposita in silenzio sulle pietre antiche, creando un’atmosfera quasi mistica. L’abside è elegante e slanciata, e l’organo monumentale cattura lo sguardo (e, se siete fortunati, anche l’udito).

Fondata nel XIII secolo, la cattedrale ha attraversato guerre e rivoluzioni, restando sempre il cuore spirituale della diocesi. È un luogo che non impone, ma accoglie: silenziosa, solenne, eppure viva.

Un consiglio: visitatela al tramonto, quando la facciata sembra accendersi di un bagliore dorato. Un luogo da non perdere, anche per chi pensa di aver già visto “abbastanza...

Très belle cathédrale dans ce petit patelin. L'édifice est impressionnant par sa taille et sa beauté. L'intérieur est lumineux, les vitraux sont beaux. Le seul petit hic serait la moisissure à certains endroits qui laisse dire que la cathédrale n'est pas forcément entretenue à sa juste valeur. De plus, les multitudes de câbles électriques branchés sur des rallonges, branchées également sur d'autres rallonges qui elles même branchées sur d'autres rallonges etc etc, m'interrogent sur les problèmes incendies que connaissent de nombreux monuments religieux. A côté de ça, toutes les enceintes sont des "Bose". Quelle est la priorité du clergé...?
