What to expect
The Cathédrale de Lausanne, also known as the Cathedral of Notre Dame, is a beautiful Gothic edifice and one of the most important landmarks in Lausanne. The cathedral features a stunning rose window, a unique painted portal, and an impressive belfry that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Visitors can climb to the top of the belfry for a 360-degree view of Lausanne and explore the cathedral's interior, which includes a polychrome interior restored in the 20th century. The cathedral also hosts a great pipe organ, which is a unique instrument in the world, and features guided tours. Additionally, the cathedral's watchman continues to call out the time from 10 pm to 2 am, a tradition that dates back over 600 years
