La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Lausanne

A highly anticipated book, as the latest works dedicated to this monument of European importance are now available. An insightful book, because the significant restoration work carried out over the last fourteen years has revealed secrets and treasures for today's visitors, both local and foreign. This collective work, which brings together renowned Swiss, French, English, and German specialists, aims to place the Lausanne Cathedral in a broad context through text and images, addressing both architectural and ideological perspectives. While the texts are at a university level, they are intended to be accessible to the curious reader and appeal to a wide audience. Parallels with the cathedrals of Laon, Braine, Strasbourg, and Paris, as well as Canterbury in England and Bamberg in Germany, give this publication a unique character. The photographs are the work of a single photographer, and the iconography of this book is distinctive, complemented by numerous historical documents.
