Entrevaux Cathedral

It was the seat of the bishops of Glandèves, who moved their principal residence to Entrevaux in the early 17th century.

The site of the ancient town of Glandèves, where the bishops' seat had been established since the end of the Roman Empire, was insecure, and the population moved in the 11th century to Entrevaux, which was easier to defend.

In 1604 the bishop Octave Isnard decided to build a new cathedral at Entrevaux.

[4] Because of the restricted site and the necessities of defending the town, the new cathedral was oriented to the north-east.

[6] The furnishings and works of art, including an "Assumption" of c. 1630 and a "Gift of the Rosary" of 1631 forming part of the altar, both by François Mimault, and a portrait of the bishop Jean-Baptiste de Belloy,[7] are mostly of the 17th and early 18th centuries.
