Description

La cathédrale Saint-Louis.

La tour de la façade remonte à l'église Renaissance du XVIe siècle, mais 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.

Au début de XVIe siècle, François Ier fait construire une église de style Renaissance: la collégiale Saint-Solenne. Elle est détruite par un ouragan en 1678.

Un nouvel édifice est bâti par l'architecte Poictevin en style gothique. Les élévations nord et sud de la nef et les chapelles latérales datent de cette époque.

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

En l’an 2000, la cathédrale Saint-Louis a reçu un ensemble de vitraux créés par l’artiste Néerlandais Jan Dibbets. Jean Mauret, maître verrier installé dans le sud de la région Centre, fut chargé de la réalisation de ces vitraux.

A droite, l’hôtel de ville occupe l’ancien évêché, construit au début du XVIIIe siècle par l’architecte J. Gabriel.


The St. Louis Cathedral.

The tower of the façade dates back to the Renaissance church sixteenth century, but the base of the tower itself is of the twelfth century. The floor of the bells is 1644. The octagonal lantern was built under Louis XIV in the seventeenth century.

At the beginning of the sixteenth century, Francis built a Renaissance church: the church of Saint-Solenne. It was destroyed by a hurricane in 1678.

A new building was built by the architect Poictevin in Gothic style. Elevations north and south of the nave and side chapels date from this period.

In 1697, Blois is separated from the diocese of Chartres and became bishop. St. Solenne becomes the St. Louis Cathedral.

In 2000, the St. Louis Cathedral has received a set of stained glass windows created by the Dutch artist Jan Dibbets. Jean Mauret, glassblowers installed in the south central region, was responsible for the implementation of these windows.

Right, town hall occupies the former bishopric, built in the early eighteenth century by the architect J. Gabriel.
