About Beauvais

Beauvais is the capital of the Oise department in Picardy and the city immediately adjacent to its namesake airport — home to one of the most audacious and dramatic architectural failures in Gothic history. The Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Beauvais was intended to be the tallest building in the medieval world — its choir vault, at 48.5 metres above the floor, is the highest Gothic vault ever constructed, surpassing even Amiens and Cologne. But the cathedral was never completed: the transept collapsed in 1284, was rebuilt, and collapsed again; the enormous crossing tower erected in 1573 (at 153 metres the tallest structure in the world at the time) fell in 1573 after just four years; and today only the choir, transept and a fragment of nave survive — an extraordinary ruin of ambition, the most dramatic architectural failure in European history, and one of the most awe-inspiring spaces in French Gothic architecture.

Beauvais's cathedral fragment is nonetheless a breathtaking architectural experience — standing in the choir under the 48.5-metre vault, surrounded by the most slender and daring Gothic structural system ever attempted, gives a visceral sense of the medieval ambition to build higher and lighter than any previous generation. The cathedral also houses the remarkable Astronomical Clock (1868) — the most complex 19th-century clock in the world, with 90,000 parts, 52 faces and 68 automata, taking 25 years to complete. The city's ancient tapestry-weaving tradition is documented in the Musée de la Tapisserie de Beauvais. The old town retains fragments of its medieval character in the lanes around the cathedral.

Important Transfer Information

Highest Gothic Vault in the World: The choir of Beauvais Cathedral (48.5 metres) is the highest Gothic vault ever successfully maintained — built at the absolute limit of what medieval masonry construction could achieve, and still standing despite the repeated collapses of adjacent structures. The interior experience of the choir — looking up at the soaring stone vault, supported by flying buttresses of extraordinary slenderness on the exterior — is one of the most dramatic architectural experiences in France.

Astronomical Clock: The Beauvais Astronomical Clock (1868) — installed in the south transept — is the most complex 19th-century mechanical clock in the world, with 90,000 individual parts, 52 clock faces showing astronomical data including the phases of the moon, tides and planetary movements, and 68 automata that animate at the daily 10:30 demonstration. A remarkable feat of mechanical engineering housed in a Gothic cathedral.
