About Cathedral Saint-Pierre de Beauvais
The Cathedral of Saint-Pierre de Beauvais, located in the northern French city of Beauvais, is one of the most iconic Gothic cathedrals in France. Its construction began in the 13th century and continued for more than 500 years, although the cathedral was never completed due to various setbacks including the collapse of the choir in the late 16th century. Nevertheless, the existing structure is still an impressive feat of Gothic architecture, with soaring vaulted ceilings and intricate stained glass windows. The cathedral is also home to several notable works of art, including the 16th-century tapestry of the Life of St. John the Baptist, and a collection of choir stalls adorned with intricate carvings. Visitors can climb the cathedral's tower for panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside.
