Lisieux Cathedral — Attraction in Lisieux

Most underrated pilgrimage site in Lisieux. Parish frequented by the Martin family. Chapel where Saint Therese attended daily mass and where she received her little revelation and desire to gather the blood dripping from the base of the crucifix as sign of love to give to others.

Desde el principio, el arquitecto diseñó las bóvedas de crucería cuatripartitas y los arbotantes, siendo por ello uno de los primeros edificios góticos en Normandía. La nave, bastante austera, está inspirada en el estilo gótico de la Île-de-France, mientras que las últimas partes construidas en el siglo XIII (la cabecera, el tiburio y la fachada occidental) reflejan el estilo normando. El obispo Pierre Cauchon, cuyo nombre permanece unido al juicio de Juana de Arco, fue enterrado en la...
