Description

The cathedral church was originally part of a Benedictine Priory and refounded as a cathedral in 1541. The main body was built between 1093 and 1130, with alterations and additions made in the 13th and 15th centuries.

In the south-west corner of the chapel is a large door in the south wall with a blind trefoil-headed arch to the left. On the west wall is a smaller portal.
