Listed as an historic monument, the Saint-Pierre cathedral takes place in the heart of the citadel of Saint-Malo, in Ille-et-Vilaine. Mixing the Romanesque and Gothic styles with great harmony, it was built during the 12th century, when Saint-Malo became a bishopric.
From the first building, several elements still remain today, such as the nave, the crossing of the transept or part of the cloister. Over the centuries, Saint-Pierre Cathedral has undergone several transformations, now featuring an 18th century southern chapel or a facade rebuilt in the 18th century in the neoclassical style. In the 19th century, Napoleon III also had a large openwork spire in the Breton style in Caen stone, completely rebuilt at the end of the 20th century following the bombardments of the Second World War.
Inside, visitors will be able to admire beautiful furnishings including an 18th century pulpit, baptismal font and white marble statues or the magnificent statue of the Virgin and Child known as Notre-Dame de the Grand'Porte.
