In addition to its many magical features, Beauvais Cathedral also houses an almost unbelievable technical marvel: Auguste Vérité's astronomical clock from the 19th century. The interplay of 90,000 (!) parts in a temple-like case 12 meters high and 5 meters wide drives 52 dials and 68 automata that deliver astronomical values. The whole thing is beautifully designed and decorated.
