Trivial Pursuit History
Picture from Cathedrale Sainte Croix d'Orleans.
Orleans Cathedral has seen its construction span the centuries, for nearly 600 years. It takes its name from the relics of the Holy Cross on which Jesus Christ died.
The construction of the Gothic cathedral followed the collapse of a Romanesque cathedral, built in the 10th century.
One of the 5 largest Gothic cathedrals in France. It is steeped in a long history: Joan of Arc prayed there, Henry IV launched its reconstruction in 1601, Louis XIV financed the transepts which pay homage to him by displaying his motto and her sun.
The magnificently carved woodwork of the choir and the stained glass windows telling the story of Joan of Arc are among its treasures, as are the 11 richly endowed 13th century chapels which form its apse.
