Built between 1782 and 1786, the Saint-Pierre church replaced older buildings whose origin dates back to the 4th century. It is the work of the Bison architect Claude-Joseph Bertand (1734-1797) who partially copied the plans of the great Parisian architect Victor-Louis (1731-1800). The construction of this religious building is part of a large-scale urban planning project, that of the construction of a royal square in the heart of the city.

The cathedral lies below the citadel. It was created between the 11th and 13th centuries and dedicated to John the Baptist.
