Artwork Description:
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame at Lausanne is a classical example of Gothic architecture. The building work began in 1175 and it was finally consecrated in 1275 by Pope Gregory X.
Lausanne Cathedral is generally considered Switzerland's finest Gothic building, easily competing with French Gothic architecture. It is topped with towers and spires; the south facade is pierced by a giant Gothic rose window; and flying buttresses support the choir.
The architect-restorer Eugène Viollet-le-Duc began a restoration of the cathedral in the 19th century - and it is still going on today.
