Classic in style with architectural references to antiquity, it dominates and illuminates the city's Place d'Armes with its pink sandstone stones extracted from a nearby quarry.
Protected as a historical monument since 1930, the church was elevated to basilica status in 1952 and became a cathedral in 1979, when the diocese of Belfort-Montbéliard was created.
