The cathedral in Suasson was named after Gervasius and Protasius, the martyrs who died for their Christian faith at the end of the third century.
Suasson Cathedral began to be built in 1176, but due to the wars, its construction took several centuries. Thus, during the Hundred Years' War the construction was interrupted not only by military actions, but also by theft: the materials intended for the construction of the cathedral were quickly stolen. The northern tower of the cathedral was never built because neither the church nor the secular authorities were able to find new funds to continue its construction.
The distinctive feature of the cathedral is its asymmetrical facade, decorated with only one southern tower, more than 65 meters high. Besides her, the cathedral has a low bell tower. The interior of the temple is decorated with the painting "Worship of the Magi" by Rubens, the work of Philip de Champagne "Jesus hands the keys to the Apostle Peter", white marble statues of the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Gabriel. In some places, however, stained-glass windows dating back to the 14th century have been preserved.
Suasson Cathedral is called one of the largest cathedrals in Picardia.
