The present Notre-Dame de Laon cathedral is the heir to an ancient building, built under the Carolingians and destroyed during the communal insurrection of 1112. Completed around 1235, the cathedral underwent a major restoration in the 19th century, and again in the 2000s. Note that since September 3, 2021, the building has been home to a “Blueberry of Memory” (a work of art by artist Matt Seaward) offered by the Bishop of Durham (UK) in memory of the soldiers who fell in the First World War.

After the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Saint MARIE MADELEINE" is the woman most frequently mentioned in the writings of the New Testament. Originally called "Mary of Magdala" after her place of origin on the Sea of Galilee, the now common name "Mary Magdalene" has evolved over time. According to the biblical accounts, she is one of the women and men who followed Jesus of Nazareth. According to the testimony of the Evangelists, Mary Magdalene is also one of the three women who, after the Sabbath rest, anointed the body of Jesus Christ on Easter morning after the crucifixion and burial, and the very first person to ever meet the Risen Christ. In theology, she is therefore also known as the "Apostle of the Apostles." The feast day of Saint Marie-Madeleine in the calendar of saints is July 22nd.
