EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide depicts the awe-inspiring Fribourg Cathedral in Switzerland, a magnificent Gothic structure dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Built on a rocky outcrop 50 metres above the River Sarine, the cathedral's imposing presence has dominated the medieval town of Fribourg since its construction began in 1283 and was completed by 1430. The cathedral's main body showcases intricate Gothic architecture, while the rose window above the main portal is adorned with stunning stained glass by Alfred Manessier, created in 1988. Originally serving as a parish church, the cathedral gained new significance in 1945 when it became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lausanne, Geneva and Fribourg. This beautiful slide, number 47 of Box 181, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural grandeur of Fribourg and the late 19th century.
