About Bayeux Cathedral

Bayeux Cathedral, otherwise called Cathedral of Our Lady of Bayeux, is a Roman Catholic church situated in the town of Bayeux in Normandy, France. A national landmark, it is the seat of the Bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux and was the first home of the Bayeux Tapestry. The house of God is in the Norman-Romanesque compositional convention. The site is an antiquated one and was once involved by Roman asylums. The present house of prayer was sanctified on 14 July 1077 within the sight of William, Duke of Normandy and King of England. It was here that William constrained Harold Godwinson to make the vow, the breaking of which prompted the Norman victory of England.

Catholic religious philosophy depends on the Nicene Creed. The Catholic Church instructs that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, that its religious administrators are the successors of Christ's missionaries, and that the pope is the successor to Saint Peter upon whom power was given by Jesus Christ. Following genuine harm to the Cathedral in the 12th Century, the Cathedral was reconstructed in the Gothic style which is most remarkable in the intersection tower, transepts and east end. Be that as it may, in spite of the intersection tower having been begun in the 15th Century, it was not finished until the 19th Century.
