Moulins Cathedral (French: Basilique Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Moulins) is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Moulins, Allier, France.[1]
The cathedral is the seat of the Bishop of Moulins. It is a national monument.
The cathedral contains two distinct building phases four centuries apart. It was constructed as a collegiate church in the Flamboyant style at the end of the 15th century. In 1822 it was made a cathedral. To this a neo-Gothic nave, designed by the architects Lassus and Millet, was added at the end of the 19th century.[citation needed]
The treasury contains the famous triptych by the Maître de Moulins, which was commissioned around 1500 by the Duke of Bourbon.
