Quimper Cathedral, officially known as Cathédrale Saint-Corentin de Quimper, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture located in the heart of Quimper, Brittany, France. Dedicated to Saint Corentin, the first bishop of Quimper, the cathedral's construction began in the 13th century and was completed in the 16th century. Notable for its twin spires, which were added in the 19th century, the cathedral features intricate stained glass windows and a remarkable interior that includes a beautifully carved wooden choir. The slightly off-axis chancel is a unique architectural element that adds to its charm and historical intrigue.
