Old cathedral of Saint-Vincent in Mâcon, classified as a historical monument, preserving only the 2 towers connected to each other

The two towers and the Romanesque narthex are the only remains of the former Saint-Vincent cathedral, built in the 6th century. Destroyed and rebuilt several times, it is now a listed historic monument. Today, it's closed to the public, but the exterior is well worth a visit, on a self-guided or guided tour with the tourist office. You'll have to be patient for a few more years before you can marvel at its interior again, as a fund-raising campaign has been launched for the end of 2023 to begin major renovation work and create a footbridge between the two towers.

j,ais été conquis par cette visite mais je regrette que cet édifice n,ais pas été restaurer comme il était as l'origine car c'est un édifice religieux et je trouves honteux que les élus de la ville de macon ais préférer sans servir pour installer les musees municipaux as l'intérieur de cet édifice religieux honte as eux !

La cathédrale Saint Vincent est la cathédrale primitive de Mâcon, son
histoire est longue et complexe.

Le sol instable, les guerres, les défauts de construction ont jalonné son existence jusqu'à sa démolition partielle à la Révolution.

Seul les deux tours et le narthex, d'âge roman, constituent les vestiges de l'ancienne cathédrale Saint-Vincent.

On ne peut pas rentrer à l’intérieur, mais à travers les vitres, on peut voir ce qu’il y a dans le musée

After the French Revolution this church, built in the 12th century, was beyond repair and most of it was demolished.

What remained were the two mighty towers and at the back some romanesk details

A sad sight
