About the location

Cathédrale Sainte-Croix

Place Sainte-Croix, 45000 Orléans

Loiret
Centre-Val de Loire

The shape of the cathedral that we now know is due to the restorations launched under Henry IV and continued by his successors, in a Gothic style. But, from the remains of the primitive church of the 7th century to the contemporary stained glass windows of Pierre Carron, all centuries and all styles have come to enrich the building as its construction and its incessant reconstructions and restorations.
