Go there and contact
According to legend, the site was a Druidic monument before becoming a Roman temple dedicated to Apollo. A first Christian church was built there in 660, and in 875, the relics of St. Werburgh of York were brought here to protect the population from Viking incursions. In 1092, Hugh Lupus, the nephew of William the Conqueror, began the construction of a large monastery; the building underwent many modifications before becoming a cathedral in 1541. Today, it is particularly famous for its pink stone architecture in the rich Gothic style. We appreciate its magnificent 12th century choir and its perfectly restored cloister.
