Description

La cathédrale Saint-Louis.

Au début de XVIe siècle, François Ier fait construire une église de style Renaissance, couverte d'une charpente : la collégiale Saint-Solenne.

Elle est détruite par un ouragan en 1678. Un nouvel édifice est bâti en style gothique (architecte Poictevin).

En 1697, Blois se sépare de l'immense évêché de Chartres et devient elle-même évêché. Saint-Solenne devient la cathédrale Saint-Louis.

La tour de la façade remonte à l'église Renaissance du XVIe siècle. La base de la tour elle-même est du XIIe siècle.

L'étage des cloches est de 1644. Le lanternon octogonal a été construit sous Louis XIV, au XVIIe siècle.


St. Louis Cathedral.

At the beginning of the sixteenth century, François I built a Renaissance church, covered with a frame: the Saint-Solenne.

It was destroyed by a hurricane in 1678. A new building was built in Gothic style (architect Poictevin).

In 1697, Blois separates the immense diocese of Chartres itself becomes bishop. Saint-Solenne becomes the St. Louis Cathedral.

The tower of the facade dates back to the sixteenth century Renaissance church. The base of the tower itself is the twelfth century.

The floor of the bells is 1644. The octagonal lantern was built under Louis XIV in the seventeenth century.
