The cathedral was built in the 12th century by Jean de Châtillon on an islet that was easier to defend than the Cité d'Aleth, where the ancient Saint-Pierre Cathedral stood.
The building has undergone considerable transformation since the last war: a new spire, as well as a rose window at the back of the choir, illuminated by a stained-glass window by Jean Le Moal.
Beautiful conciliar furnishings by Arcabas.
In the chapels of the choir are the tombs of Jacques Cartier and Duguay-Trouin.
