The cathedral was probably built on the site of a Roman temple, probably destroyed during the passage of the Huns, and in 1221, by Bishop Eudes II of Sorcy (1219-1228), the construction of the building that we can contemplate was spread over three centuries to finish in 1561, the Romanesque cathedral being gradually destroyed to give way to the Gothic elevation. The construction site's shell begins with the choir, flanked by two so-called "harmonic" bedside towers, an adaptation of the standard plan of the Gothic church with the Romanesque tradition of the old building (as in the Verdun Cathedral). The choir was completed in 1235. The construction of the transept and the last five bays of the nave lasted from 1331 to 1400, in parallel with the gradual destruction of the Romanesque nave. The cloister was then built by Pierre Perrat (died in 1400) as well as the western portal. Between 1400 and 1460, work was interrupted because of the war between the Duke of Burgundy and the Duke of Lorraine.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, founded in the 12th century, is a masterpiece of Scaldian Gothic, a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic styles. It was in the 5th century that the first cathedral was built under the aegis of Saint Eleutheran, one of the first bishops of the city. From the 9th to the 11th century, a new sanctuary was built. At the beginning of the 12th century, the development of the cult of Our Lady, the prosperity of the city and perhaps the desire to hasten the separation of the dioceses of Tournai and Noyon, led to the construction of the present cathedral, the third. Since 2000, the cathedral has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tours, FR
The first construction was initiated in 340 by Saint Lidoire, the second Bishop of Tours. In 561, the church was destroyed by fire. Gregoire de Tours had it rebuilt from 570 onwards. In the 12th century, Bishop Hildebert de Lavardin (1125-1134) undertook the reconstruction. The operation was completed around 1150 but a fire damaged it heavily in 1167. A new reconstruction project was launched, but it was not until 1547 that the church was completely completed.
