Saint-Dié Cathedral

Saint-Dié Cathedral, formerly a collegiate church, is dedicated to Saint Deodatus of Nevers. Since 1777 it has been the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Dié.

The cathedral, like most of the town, is built largely of the local red sandstone. It has a Romanesque nave (12th century) and a Gothic choir; the portal of red stone dates from the 18th century. A fine cloister (13th century), containing a stone pulpit, communicates with the Petite-Église or Notre-Dame de Galilée, a well-preserved specimen of Romanesque architecture (12th century).
