Saint-Brieuc Cathedral

Saint-Brieuc Cathedral

Saint-Brieuc Cathedral ("Cathédrale Saint-Etienne de Saint-Brieuc") is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of Brittany (France), located in the town of Saint-Brieuc.

It was the seat of the Bishopric of Saint-Brieuc, one of the nine ancient dioceses of Brittany, and continues to be the seat of the enlarged Bishopric of Saint-Brieuc-Tréguier, as it has been known since 1852.

Some of the relics of Saint Brieuc himself, the 6th century founder, are still kept here. The present building however was built in the 14th and 15th centuries.
