Belfort Cathedral

Local nameCathédrale Saint-Christophe
LocationBelfort, France

Belfort Cathedral, otherwise the Cathedral of Saint Christopher of Belfort, is a Roman Catholic church located in Belfort, Territoire de Belfort, France. The cathedral has been a national monument since 1930. It was declared a minor basilica on 9 May 1952.

The building that is now the cathedral was built as a church between 1727 and 1750 by the businessman Henri Schuller to plans by Jacques Philippe Mareschal, king's engineer at Strasbourg. It was built of red sandstone excavated from the quarry at Offemont, three kilometres from Belfort.

Although the church opened for worship in 1750, the north tower was not completed until 1845.
