Today’s Notre-Dame de Laon cathedral is the heir to an earlier edifice, built under the Carolingians and destroyed during the communal uprising of 1112. In the mid-XIIth century, a period of economic and urban expansion, work began on what will go down as one of the finest examples of so-called primitive Gothic… Indeed, the new building gives pride of place to light, with its four-level elevation (arcades, tribune, triforium, high windows) and its wide roses, a luminosity enhanced by the use of limestone for its construction. Completed around 1235, the cathedral was extensively restored in the 19th century and again in the 2000s.
\nSince 3\/09\/2021, the building has been home to a “Bleuet de la m\u00e9moire” (a work by artist Matt Seaward) donated by the Bishop of Durham (UK) in memory of the soldiers who fell in the First World War.<\/p>\n
The cathedral is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6.30 p.m., and can be visited freely…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
