Calvin's birthplace is dedicated to the famous reformer born here in 1509. Rebuilt after its destruction during the First World War, it now houses a museum retracing the life and work of John Calvin, as well as the religious and humanist history of his time. It houses a rich collection of portraits, ancient works, documents, and 16th-century furniture.

The Noyon war memorial is a shell-shaped memorial pillar standing on the cathedral forecourt. This monument is the work of architects Eugène Chifflot and René Lefèvre. The monument includes a bas-relief sculpted by Emile Pinchon and illustrating scenes from life in Noyon during and after the conflict. It recalls in particular the hostage-taking of September 29, 1914, the entry of the French on March 18, 1917 and Noyon in ruins in 1918. This war memorial was inaugurated under the aegis of Marshal Joffre on March 22, 1925.

The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Noyon is an impressive Gothic building in the heart of Noyon, in the Oise department. Built between 1145 and 1235, the cathedral is a major religious and cultural monument. It exemplifies the transition from Romanesque to Gothic architecture. The cathedral is 103.11 meters long (exterior) and 91.33 meters (interior), with a nave height of 22.73 meters. The interior is richly decorated with works of art and features a magnificent Merklin organ from 1898. The cathedral also has a Louis XVI-style high altar.

Pretty nice spot. Besides, as soon as the water is present, it’s always magnificent!

The complex of buildings surrounding Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the earliest examples of Gothic architecture. You can admire the cathedral's rich liturgical furnishings, the elegant canons' residences, the remains of the episcopal chapel, and the chapter library, one of the oldest in Europe. You'll also discover the history of Noyon, the ancient episcopal city that witnessed the coronation of Charlemagne and the birth of John Calvin. The cathedral chapter of Noyon is a true treasure trove of art and history that will delight both the eyes and the mind.
