Quimper - a great city

Quimper surprised me though - it's simply a beautiful city - the real tourist crowds are probably yet to come.

Saint-Corentin Cathedral
Highlight • Other
It was in 1239 that Bishop Raynaud decided to build the current cathedral based on the foundations of an old Romanesque cathedral. In 1410, the choir vaults were completed, while the glass roofs were installed in the high windows. In 1424, Bishop Bertrand de Rosmadec undertook the construction of the nave and the two towers of the facade.
From the 1850s, the Quimper architect Joseph Bigot undertook the restoration of the building, mainly the decoration of the chapels and the order of new stained glass windows destroyed during the French Revolution. Its most spectacular achievement remains the completion of the two towers with the construction of the spiers between 1854 and 1856, financed by the people of Quimper.
From 1989 to 1999, a restoration campaign revealed the appearance of the cathedral at the end of the 15th century: restoration of the interior polychromies with the reappearance of the ribs treated in yellow ocher and red ocher and general liming of the facings.
