Oloron Cathedral, also known as St. Mary's Church, is a Roman Catholic church and former cathedral in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of France. Construction began in the 12th century under Gaston IV, Viscount of Béarn, and the building blends Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It was the seat of the Bishopric of Oloron until the Concordat of 1801 suppressed that see. It has been a monument historique since March 1939 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998.
