Overview

Lausanne's Cathedral is the biggest and the most beautiful Gothic building in Switzerland. Though inaugurated in 1275, the north tower is still missing! During the day, you can climb on the top of the tower for a superb view of the city; and don't miss the stained-glass. From 10p-2a, the town crier shouts out the hour from the four sides of the tower as has been the tradition since the Middle Ages; the last to do so in Europe. The Cathedral often hosts classical concerts.

The cathedrale in Lausanne is really stunning as it stands tall above the city. The best part is if you call ahead and reserve a spot, a monk will take you up the tower at night saying "it's ten o'clock and all's well". It's really great!
