Beauvais Cathedral

Highlight • Historical Site

It's impossible to visit Beauvais Cathedral without being dazzled by its size! This true jewel of Gothic art houses the tallest choir in the world, at 48.50 meters high.

Ancient Gallo-Roman City Wall of Beauvais

Highlight • Historical Site

Behind the cathedral you can still find a piece of the city fortifications dating from the 4th century, originally 1370 meters long and with 18 towers. The wall is decorated with cubic stones in the Pastoreaux pattern, which can be found similarly on the remains of the historic Roman city wall around Cologne. In the Middle Ages, the wall served to demarcate the episcopal district.

Saint Peter's Cathedral of Beauvais

Highlight • Religious Site

Its construction is contemporary with that of the cathedrals of Chartres, Reims, Bourges and Amiens ...

It has the highest Gothic choir in the world [1] (48.50 m) under vaulted ceilings. From 1569 to 1573 Beauvais Cathedral was, with its 153-meter tower, the tallest human construction in the world. Its designers had the ambition to make it the largest Gothic cathedral in France ahead of that of Amiens. Victim of two collapses, one in the thirteenth century, the other in the sixteenth century, it remains unfinished today, only the choir and the transept have been built.

The Collegiate Church of Saint-Barthélemy

Highlight • Historical Site

The collegiate church of Saint
Barthelemy, founded in 1037, was secularized during the French Revolution and converted into a residential building. After war damage and demolition, the preserved choir today reminds us of the former building.

Beauvais: Südportal

Highlight • Other

The cathedral beckons. Curious, you want to rush into the interior, but the entrance is worth slowing down. The huge portal rises high into the sky. There are no religious figurines here: one wonders whether this is a financial consequence of the failed construction of the tower of Beauvais or whether the iconoclastic French Revolution has struck. Instead, the tendrils hide many mythical creatures and monsters worth seeing, waiting to be discovered. A somewhat threatening fairy-tale world. Behind them are the enormous carved doors, which are unparalleled with their sculptural Gothic scenes. And finally, Peter himself welcomes you into the church. You know him: an image of the famous statue in St. Peter's Basilica, which illustrates the claim of the cathedral's builders: Amiens was supposed to have the largest church in France, but unfortunately the over-high vaults and the world's highest over-high tower collapsed and inside, massive wooden struts hold up the fragile statics. A Gothic Babel. But the cathedral also holds the record as a torso: the highest vaults are 48.5 metres high.

Oise Museum (Former Episcopal Palace)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Bishop's Palace was built in the 16th century, partly on fortifications from the Gallo-Roman period.

The early Romanesque church from the 10th century is one of the few surviving Carolingian chapels in France. It was actually supposed to be replaced by the nave of the cathedral, which was built from 1247 onwards, but after the collapse of the cathedral's record vault and tower, although the small original church surprisingly survived both, money and the Gothic style were at an end. And so, after being temporarily but permanently closed off by a partition wall, the cathedral's gigantic building now has a "mini nave" which is, however, closed off from the inside by a door. Unfortunately, the small original church was inaccessible when we visited. It would certainly be impressive to enter the Gothic giant building through the Romanesque west portal.
