History edit
Construction began in November 1829 and was completed in 1832. The whole building was registered as a monument historique on 13 October 1975.
Henri Martin-Granel worked on the windows of the cathedral. The building was built according to plans by an engineer called Paradise, replacing a church of the 18th century. It took its final form in 1863. It was elevated to a cathedral in 1850 and was consecrated in 1860.
