Cathedrale Saint-Andre Bordeaux
The Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux is a stunning Gothic cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the heart of Bordeaux. Consecrated in 1096 by Pope Urban II, the current structure dates primarily from the 13th to 15th centuries. It is famous for its soaring architecture, intricate stone carvings, and historical significance. The cathedral is particularly known for its separate bell tower, the Tour Pey-Berland, built in the 15th century to protect the main structure from vibrations. Visitors can climb the tower for breathtaking views of Bordeaux. The cathedral’s grand nave, magnificent stained-glass windows, and richly sculpted façade make it a must-visit landmark. Saint-André has witnessed key historical events, including the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the future King Louis VII of France in 1137. Today, it remains a vibrant place of worship and a cultural treasure in Bordeaux.
