Cathédrale Saint-Alain de Lavaur, with its bell tower-porch and high altar, is the second most visited monument in the département

Built on the ruins of a church and convent destroyed by Simon de Montfort's crusaders in 1211, this church was erected as a cathedral by Pope John XXI when he created the bishopric of Lavaur in 1317. This Southern Gothic monument boasts the unique feature of a solid oak jacquemart, the only one of its kind in the South-West of France, chimes out the hours from the top of a side tower. Its bell tower-porch makes Saint-Alain a jewel in the crown of the local heritage.

Cathédrale exceptionnelle, en particulier pour son orgue avec des sonorités rares. Elle a été restaurée il y a peu.

L’une des plus belles cathédrales que j’ai visité. Je ne m’attendais absolument pas à trouver une bâtisse aussi grande et imposante dans la toute petite ville de Lavaur. Les chapelles, les fresques, tout est magnifique !
