La majestueuse silhouette aux sept tours de la cathedrale de Laon, entouree de son quartier canonial, domine la cite medievale et la plaine. Edifiee entre 1155 et 1225, elle est un temoin majeur de l'architecture et de la sculpture monumentale du premier art gothique. Les lignes animees de sa facade que surmontent les boeufs de pierre legendaires, n'augurent en rien sa sereine elevation interieure, eclairee par les vitraux medievaux des lancettes du chevet et trois grandes roses. Depouillee d'une grande partie de son decor a la Revolution, remeublee de beaux objets provenant d'autres eglises ou couvents, elle a conserve une serie exceptionnelle de clotures de chapelles des XVIe et XVIIe siecles, de tres belles orgues et un dallage integrant plus de 200 pierres tombales, de chanoines pour la plupart. Au XIXe siecle, elle fut sauvee d'un peril imminent par Emile Boeswillwald qui la restaura pendant pres d'un demi-siecle et lui dessina pour finir un nouveau choeur.
