It was formerly the seat of the Bishopric of Vabres, established in 1317 and abolished under the Concordat of 1801. It is now in the Diocese of Rodez.[2]
In 1793, during the French Revolution, the cathedral was gutted by a battalion of the Revolutionary army. The soldiers removed a marble altar to build a monument for the recently murdered Jean-Paul Marat and then set fire to the cathedral.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The restored building serves as a parish church. Parts of it date from the 14th and 15th centuries, and it was registered as a historical monument in 1992.[3]
