About this spot
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, also known as the Lille Cathedral, is a prominent landmark and a significant religious site located in the city of Lille. The construction of the cathedral began in 1854 and was completed in 1999, making it a relatively modern structure. The design of the new cathedral was created by various architects throughout the years, including Pierre-Louis Carlier, Le Corbusier, and Peter Rice.
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille is renowned for its unique architectural style, blending elements of Gothic and contemporary design. The façade of the cathedral combines traditional Gothic features, such as pointed arches and flying buttresses, with more modern materials like glass and aluminum. The fusion of old and new architectural elements symbolizes the bridge between tradition and modernity. One of the most striking features of the cathedral is its impressive rose window. Located on the western façade, the rose window is made of stained glass and measures approximately 9 meters in diameter. It is a modern interpretation of traditional rose windows found in Gothic cathedrals and serves as a focal point of the cathedral's exterior.
