Historique
De l'ancienne cathédrale romane de Tréguier ne subsiste aujourd'hui que la tour du transept nord, dite tour Hasting. L'édifice actuel, de plan en croix latine, a été édifié en plusieurs campagnes de travaux à partir du milieu du 13e siècle : c'est par le porche de la façade ouest, achevé vers 1356, que débuta la reconstruction, qui se poursuivit par la nef (fin 13e-début 14e siècle) , puis le choeur (fin 14e-début 15e siècle). Le porche sud, la chapelle nord et le cloître vinrent compléter l'édifice au cours du 15e siècle.

History
Of the ancient Romanesque cathedral of Tréguier, only the tower of the north transept, called the Hasting tower, remains today. The present building, of Latin cross plan, was built in several campaigns of work from the middle of the 13th century: it was by the porch of the west façade, completed around 1356, that the reconstruction began, which continued by the nave (late 13th-early 14th century), then the choir (late 14th-early 15th century). The south porch, the north chapel and the cloister completed the building in the course of the 15th century.
