Summary

St. Vulfran’s cathedral, or church, was built over the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries in Abbeville, France.   The cathedral is named after Saint Wulfram (also spelled as Wulfran or Vulfran) of Sens, who died in 656.  His remains  were brought to the shrine in 1058 and the church was redirected in the Saint’s honour; before this the church was called the  Collegiate Church of Our Lady in Abbeville.

The façade is in the Gothic style, flanked by two Gothic towers.
