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.

For breakfast with a good cup of coffee, lunch with their “tranches”, afternoon tea with a lush cheesecake, apéro with cocktails and mocktails, as well as dinner with dishes to be shared (or not)… We could spend all day there!

A stone throw from the Place de la Riponne, the Pointu offers you open sandwiches, salads and soups in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

You can't miss this establishment in the Rue Neuve, as the imposing building is shaped like a point.

This establishment has been awarded the “ Café historique de Lausanne ” label established by the city of Lausanne in 2021. The trapezoidal shape of the plot gave its name to the café, Le Pointu (“The Pointed”), previously Le Lavaux. Its exterior architecture stands out in the area of the Rue Neuve. Behind the richly decorated façades that bear witness to the town centre’s development at the end of the 19th century, the recently rehabilitated establishment remains a lively meeting place on market days.
