The Saint-Dié des Vosges cathedral is in fact built on the site of a former church and monastery, destroyed twice by fire and twice rebuilt. As Saint-Dié des Vosges acquired the status of a bishopric, the collegiate church became a cathedral. In the Romanesque part of the edifice you can admire a total of forty strange and fascinating sandstone sculptures (animals, geometric designs, legendary characters, etc). Connected to the cathedral by a cloister, the Notre-Dame de Galilée church is a perfect illustration of the sober and uncluttered style of the Romanesque school of Southern Lorraine.
