Saint-Papoul Cathedral
Saint-Papoul Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Papoul de Saint-Papoul) was a Roman Catholic church located in the village of Saint-Papoul in Languedoc. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Papulus (French: Papoul), an early Christian bishop and martyr, from whom the settlement also took its name. It was the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Papoul. This diocese, along with a number of others in the region, was created in 1317 in the aftermath of the suppression of the Albigensians. The Abbey of Saint-Papoul had been founded here in the 8th century, and in 1317 the abbot was elevated to the status of bishop, and the abbey church to that of cathedral.
