St. Peter's Cathedral

On the territory of the picturesque city of Bordeaux there are a dozen sights. One of them is the Church of St. Peter. The temple was built in the XIX century, on the place where in the XVII century there was an old church.

The architecture of the temple is made in the Gothic style, which includes three arches with wonderful sculptures in the central portal. Among them are winged angels, prophets and garlands of leaves.

The interior of the church is very rich and consists of beautiful stained glass windows of the XIX century, statues of the XVII century and many ancient icons. The central window is decorated with the Virgin and the Assumption. Of great interest is the choir and its unusual complex with ribbed vaults.

Among other things, three chapels deserve special attention: the left one is decorated with a gilded wooden statue of St. Paul, the right one – placed a bust of God the Father and a statue of St. Peter. And the chapel of the font gives you the opportunity to admire the painting of Pierre de Nantac.
