Take a tour of Lausanne Cathedral in Lausanne, Switzerland – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The Lausanne Cathedral is a Gothic church located in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The city of Lausanne is near Lake Geneva, in the French-speaking region of Romandy.

The building of the church began in the late 12th century, but to this day the job remains unfinished.

The church was consecrated around 100 years after construction first began, by Pope Gregory the tenth.

The inside of the church features an immense Gothic rose window, and sustaining the ceiling over the choir are graceful flying buttresses.

Although restorations continue, visitors can still walk through the Great Porch and experience the beauty that this church has to offer.
