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 1225 and continued intermittently for nearly four centuries, although the cathedral was never completed due to various setbacks including the collapse of the crossing tower in 1573. 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.
