A Glimpse into the Past: Bourges Cathedral

Bourges Cathedral, in Bourges, France, is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, built between 1195 and 1230. Originated as an early Romanesque church, it now stands as a cathedral dedicated to Saint Stephen, with the Archbishop of Bourges in charge. Approaching the cathedral, one cannot help but admire its scale, known for its great size and unity, setting it apart from other churches of the era. The cathedral is renowned for its sculptural decoration of its portals and the large collection of 13th-century stained-glass windows. With a majority of its original structure intact, the cathedral has preserved its splendour and grandeur for nearly nine centuries.
