GLAUDIO SALINO

Visited Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais and had an exceptional and truly memorable experience. The cathedral is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture, immediately striking with its extraordinary height and ambitious design. Even from the outside, the structure feels majestic and unique, reflecting both historical significance and architectural boldness. Inside, the atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and deeply spiritual. The vast interior space, combined with the height of the choir, creates a sense of awe that is rare to experience. I especially appreciated the intricate stained glass windows, which add beautiful light and color to the space, as well as the detailed craftsmanship visible throughout the structure. The cathedral also carries an interesting historical story, including its ambitious construction and partial structure, which adds to its uniqueness. The surroundings are well maintained, and the location integrates nicely with the charm of Beauvais, making it an essential stop when visiting the city. Overall, an inspiring and enriching visit that combines history, architecture, and spirituality. A must-visit landmark for anyone exploring Beauvais.

Beauvais Cathedral boasts the world’s tallest Gothic vault. At 48.5 meters, it truly represents the absolute limit of medieval engineering. I only discovered this gem during a layover in Beauvais, and the atmosphere inside is incredible, even with some ongoing restoration work. The town itself is so peaceful and charming. If you’re flying in or out of Beauvais, I highly recommend a visit!

Amazing cathedral with great atmosphere and Energy. When I was inside it was chorus singing felt like from the sky. I also witnessed a bell ringing. Recommend to visit especially if you have couple of hours between the flights in Beauvais airport

An absolute must-see when visiting Beauvais. Even though some parts are still under restoration, the cathedral remains one of the most stunning examples of Gothic architecture in the world. The level of detail in the stonework and the iconic towers are breathtaking. You can walk around the outside and admire the building from multiple angles which offer some of the best photo opportunities. The atmosphere is peaceful and deeply historical. As of now, interior access is limited due to ongoing renovations, but the progress is impressive, and you can still appreciate the grandeur of the structure. There are also information panels around the site explaining the history and reconstruction process.

Absolutely stunning cathedral in the heart of Beauvais. A must visit place of worship when in the area. Huge place with beautiful architecture and nice stained glass windows. There is extensive renovation work taking place at present but there’s still a lot of see. Free entry.

Amazing Cathedral. Fabulous 24 hour clock that has to be seen. Work is still taking place therefore there is limited access, but we'll worth a visit.

A magnificent cathedral. If you're in Beauvais, then it is well worth a visit. The is a truly monumental clock inside- at least I'm fairly sure it's a clock. I've included a photo of it. There are several beautiful stained glass windows as well. Entry is free and you can take photos inside. The cathedral was undergoing some repairs when we visited, so some scaffolding is visible.

This cathedral is a true gem — towering, majestic, and home to an exceptional 19th-century astronomical clock. I feel incredibly lucky to have seen it.
