The Cathedral Notre-Dame-Immaculée in Monaco-Ville is the main church of the Principality of Monaco , the seat of the Archbishop of Monaco and the Holy Sepulcher of sex of Grimaldi .

Construction and history

The church stands on the foundations of the Saint-Nicolas church , which was demolished in 1874 in order to save the current structure. The cathedral of Monaco, built between 1875 and 1903 in neo-Romanesque style and consecrated in 1911, is not far from the Prince's Palace . The sacred building was designed by the Parisian architect Charles Lenormand (1833–1904). The historicist building cites forms of Romanesque sacral architecture in the south of France, such as that of the St-Trophime church in Arles .

Inside the church there is an altarpiece by Louis Bréa and other works of art from the Nice School . Of particular interest are the Cathedra of Carrara marble and consecrated in 1976 organ . Under the choir are the graves of the Monegasque princely family Grimaldi , all princes with the exception of Jacques I and Honoré III. found their final resting place here. The crypt contains the tombs of the bishops of Monaco.

It was restored, reorganized and expanded from 2009 to 2011 by Manufacture d'Orgues André Thomas (Ster Francorchamps, Belgium).
