Blois - Cathédrale Saint-Louis


A chapel, dedicated to Saint Peter, was here already during Merovingian times. In the 12th century a large church, dedicated to Saint Solenne, had replaced the chapel. Of this Romanesque church only the large crypt still exists.
The façade and the belltower, seen here, were built in 1544. The nave was destroyed by a hurricane in 1678.
The reconstruction took place between 1680 and 1700, and as Louis XIV of France sponsored the organ loft in 1704, the cathedral now is dedicated to Saint Louis.
