Church in Hauts-de-France, France / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noyon Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Noyon) is a Roman Catholic church located in Noyon, Oise, Hauts-de-France, France. It replaced several earlier structures, including the churches where Charlemagne and Hugh Capet were coronated. The current church, an important example of early Gothic architecture, was built primarily in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It has been repaired several times, particularly after being damaged in the French Revolution and World War I. The church served as the cathedral of the Diocese of Noyon until 1802, when the diocese was absorbed into the Diocese of Beauvais.
