The Saint-Andrew cathedral of Bordeaux Gothic east of style. It was devoted in 1096. It was rebuilt of XIIe in XVIe centuries.
It is the most imposing church of Bordeaux. The nave, of style angevin, date of XIIe century and was modified in XIIIe century.
The chorus and the radiating chapels were carried out in XIVe century. It is as at that time as the frontages of the arms of the transept were set up. The carcass work was then entirely carried out.

Today it is the organ built by Danion-Gonzalez, remarkably harmonized by Jacques Bertrand and inaugurated in 1982 per Jean-Jacques Grunenwald who is with the cathedral.
