Stained Glass, Bayeux Cathedral — Fotopedia

Beautiful backlit images from the stained-glass window of Bayeux Cathedral. All the stained glass of this church is original as Bayeux was the first city to be liberated from the Normandy Landing without bombing. The same can't not be said for other unfornunate cities in the region.

Bayeux Cathedral — See encyclopedia photos

Bayeux Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux) is a Norman-Romanesque cathedral, located in the town of Bayeux. It is the seat of the Bishop of Bayeux. It was the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry and is a national monument of France.

The site is an ancient one and was once occupied by Roman sanctuaries. The present cathedral was consecrated on 14 July 1077 in the presence of William, Duke of Normandy and King of England. It was here that William forced Harold Godwinson to take the oath, the breaking of which led to the Norman conquest of England.
