Collégiale Cathédrale – Neuchâtel
October 12, 2008 · Print This Article
A church constructed at the end of the 12th century (around 1185) with consecration 1276. Below is some photos (the ones of the organs especially for my friend Dave – hope you enjoy). Interesting to note that the organ is split into two sections housed in the "T" sides of the church.
The Monument of the courts stands in the nothern arch of the choir. This tomb and its group of statues were ordered by count Louis in 1372, with reused parts from previous tombs. Fortunately the monument was spared in 1530 by the city’s townspeople, a turbulent time when the church underwent the Reformation driven by William Farel.
