The Cathedral of the diocese

Roermond has been a bishopric city since 1559, a welcome development after the city had experienced a severe fire. The cathedral houses the throne (cathedra) of the Bishop of Roermond. In the past, Roermond had been the capital of the Overkwartier Gelre. The original parish church was located outside the city walls. Therefore, it was decided to build a new, larger church within the walls. The church was originally built in the shape of a Greek cross with four arms of equal length.
