Cathédrale Saint-Dié de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges
Cathédrale Saint-Dié de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges,
Vosges, Lorraine, France.
Saint-Dié Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and national monument of France. It is the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Dié, created in 1777. The cathedral, like most of the town, is built largely of the local red sandstone. It has a Romanesque nave (12th century) and a Gothic choir; the portal of red stone was created by Giovanni Betto in the beginning of the 18th century.
The town was nearly completely redesigned and rebuilt in the French Uniform Style after a fire in 1757.
A major part of the town was again destroyed in November 1944 during WWII and was rebuilt largely in a material imitating red sandstone.
The cathedral and other monuments were restored or rebuilt after 1950.
