Lausanne Cathedral

On Sunday we went for service to Lausanne Cathedral. It was built between 1170 and 1240 (!) in the gothic style, with the western portal completed later in the flamboyant style.










Taking bus 6-Maladiere we stopped at Bessieres. The Service started at 10:30. There were not too many people attending the service and mostly are elders.










The pipe organ was massive. It is the only one of its kind in the world by virtue of its design (American manufacture by Fisk, Italian design by Giugiaro), its musical characteristics (French classical and symphonic styles, German baroque and romantic) and its dimensions (nearly 7,000 pipes, 40 tonnes, 150,000 hours of work to complete)
