Saint-Etienne d'Agde cathedral, accentuated by the imposing character of its fortifications with a 35 m high keep

Do not leave Agde without having pushed the doors of this monument sacred for the Agathois. Built in the 9th century and fortified in the 12th century, this cathedral is one of the most beautiful fortified buildings in the region. With its dungeon culminating at 35 meters high, it looks more like a castle than a church. Dominating the square, its particularity lies in the fact that it was built in black volcanic stone coming from the Mont Saint-Loup, which accentuates the imposing character of its fortifications and gives it its so atypical color. A must-see!

Je m'attendais à mieux pour une Cathédrale.
Visite le matin après 10h, car souvent fermée.
L'extérieur est plus impressionnant que l'intérieur .

Die dem Patrozinium des hl. Stephanus (französisch St-Étienne) unterstellte mittelalterliche ehemalige Kathedrale von Agde gehörte zum Bistum Agde, das im 5. Jahrhundert gegründet und während der Französischen Revolution durch das zwischen Napoleon Bonaparte und dem Heiligen Stuhl geschlossene Konkordat aufgelöst wurde. Der bereits im Jahr 1840 als Monument historique anerkannte Kirchenbau steht unmittelbar am Fluss Hérault, der nur etwa 5 km südwestlich ins Mittelmeer mündet.

Magnifique. L'extérieur ressemble à un château fortifié. L'intérieur est tout simplement magnifique. On ne s'attend pas à y trouver un orgue d'une telle beauté
