The Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, in Lille in Hauts-de-France region of northern France, is a neo-gothic cathedral built to honor Virgin Mary as part of Lille's longstanding devotion. Since 13th century this miraculous statue has been an object of veneration within Lille itself and hence for this cathedral to exist under this name is fitting.
The cathedral began as a votive chapel, but was ultimately commissioned by a committee of clergy and industrialists headed by Charles Kolb-Bernard, an influential lay Catholic leader from Lille. Their aim was to rebuild a large church after its destruction during the French Revolution; additionally they wanted to establish a bishopric within Cambrai Archdiocese; therefore the cathedral was designed from its conception as its eventual destination - or so thought Charles Kolb-Bernard!
Construction of Lille Cathedral took nearly 150 years, beginning symbolically with the laying of its cornerstone and launch of an international competition to design a building inspired by "13th century Gothic architecture." Though both prizes were initially given to English architects, objections were raised regarding entrusting construction of an Anglican church dedicated to Virgin Mary with them - leading them eventually handing the project over to Lille architect Charles Leroy as its overseer.
Construction of the cathedral proved arduous due to difficulties raised raising necessary funds for its completion. Work progressed over many decades under various generations of architects from 1856 until 1975 and was finally finished off in 1999 when an ultramodern facade was installed on it - although initial plans had included two large towers framing a rose window; these plans were ultimately abandoned.
Today, Cathedrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille serves as one of the region's premier religious and cultural landmarks and houses the Archbishop of Lille. Each year it attracts many visitors.
