CATHÉDRALE SAINT-CORENTIN DE QUIMPER
CATHÉDRALE SAINT-CORENTIN DE QUIMPER
The cathedral is notable in that unlike other Gothic cathedrals it slightly bends in the middle to match the contours of its location, and avoid an area that was swampy at the time of the construction. The Cathedral was the site of a devastating fire in 1620 when the bell tower was burned and the populace saw a green devil in the flames.
