Saint-Brieuc Cathedral

Saint-Brieuc, France

Saint-Brieuc Cathedral was the seat of the Bishopric of Saint-Brieuc, one of the nine ancient dioceses of Brittany, and continues to be the seat of the enlarged Bishopric of Saint-Brieuc-Tréguier, as it has been known since 1852. Some of the relics of Saint Brieuc himself, the 6th-century founder, are still kept in the cathedral. The present building however was built in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Unfortunately it was closed when we arrived, which was odd for a Sunday just before lunch. We could not even appreciate the interesting exterior due to refurbishment works taking place. We left disappointed.
