Quimper Cathedral is a jewel of Breton gothic art , properly the Cathedral of Saint Corentin of Quimper, it is a Roman Catholic cathedral and national monument of Brittany. It is located in the town of Quimper and is the seat of the Diocese of Quimper–Leon. In 1239, Bishop Reynaud started the building of the actual cathedral on the remnants of an ancient roman cathedral. From 1850, an architect from Quimper, Joseph Bigot, started to restore the building, mainly by adding new furnitures, decorating chapels and replacing the windows destroyed under the French Revolution by newstained-glass windows. Address: Place Saint-Corentin, 29000 Quimper Architect: Joseph Bigot La cathedrale St Corentin de Quimper...

Magnifique cathédrale et basilique mineure de style gothique impressionnant, datant du 13ième Siècle, et portant le nom de son premier évêque Saint Corentin (V -ème S), située dans le centre de Quimper (Finistère 29), non loin du marché couvert. Il n'aura fallu pas moins de 600 ans pour la bâtir, entre remous politiques et tergiversations diverses et variées pour des considérations religieuses de l'époque, sans compter les événements de guerre pour être achevée sous le second empire. Entièrement restaurée dans les années plus proches de nous (1990-2000), ses flèches culminent à 36 mètres de haut et ses tours à 75 mètres ! Elle présente la particularité d'avoir une déviation vers la gauche par rapport à l'axe du chœur et de la nef, et ce pour au moins quatre hypothèses.(Cf Wikipédia pour de plus amples informations). A l'intérieur, de gauche à droite et sur tout le tour de la cathédrale, nous trouvons les tombeaux des évêques de Quimper s'étant succédés depuis Bertrand de ROSMADEC, évêque de Cornouailles 1283-1990 ( plus ancienne datation). Certains de ces tombeaux sont recouverts de gisants à l'effigie de leurs illustres personnages, et 6 d'entre eux sont protégés et classés aux sites des monuments historiques depuis 1914.Il y a aussi la représentation magnifique de la mise au tombeau du Christ, notre Sauveur. L'ayant visité à la période des fêtes de fin d'année 2023, nous avons également pu admirer la magnifique crèche de Noël. Les vitraux sont splendides, et tout est parfaitement bien entretenu. L'orgue est tout simplement magistral et à ne pas rater non plus. Vraiment à visiter si un jour vous devez vous rendre en Bretagne, qui est au demeurant une...

Only saw the outside. The shape of the tower is one in particular. It is nice to see in occasion that you are in town already. The town is real nice. Don't skip the old railroad viaduct end 19th century. That is the viadct with the round curve. The viaduct is now used for cars. Very well build indeed. Great craftsmanship. Best time to visit the town is around 17.00 or Saturday. At different times the town looks abandoned. It's worth the visit. Great...
