Lausanne Cathedral

HeritageArchitectureHistory

Lausanne's iconic cathedral has towered over the city for more than eight centuries. A masterpiece of Gothic art, it captivates visitors with the harmony of its architecture, the richness of its sculpted details and the serenity it inspires. From its tower, an exceptional panorama opens up over the roofs of the Cité, Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Due to the renovation of the vaults in the south transept, the rose and its stained glass windows will be inaccessible until spring 2027.

When the weekend comes round, it heralds the traditional Saturday morning stroll at the Lausanne farmers’ market. I’m used to going to Place de la Riponne to the Belogi Pasta stall to buy delicious fresh pasta, fill up on seasonal fruit and vegetables, and indulge in a bouquet of flowers to brighten up my living room.
