Troyes Cathedral (in French: Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Troyes) is the main religious building in the French city of Troyes. The cathedral is dedicated to the holy apostles Peter and Paul. Construction of the cathedral began in 1208 and was not completed until the 17th century, in the Gothic style. The church is the seat of the bishopric of Troyes in the Roman Catholic Church. In 1420, the cathedral was the solemn meeting place for the signing of the Treaty of Troyes. Nine years later, Joan of Arc visited the cathedral when she accompanied King Charles VII to Reims. The building was protected as immovable heritage and was given the status of a French classified monument historique in 1862.

The cathedral in Troyes was dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul (SAINTS PIERRE et PAUL), also known as the "Prince of the Apostles." Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he, along with his brother Andrew, was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men." According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two-millennia-long line of popes—currently Francis—follows his succession. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical passage in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and, unlike the other apostles, was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime. Instead, he was converted later with the famous "Damascus Experience." His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to Roman law at the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (a quick death, not a long, painful death struggle like other forms of execution) reserved for the citizens of Rome.
