Lausanne Cathedral
Lausanne Cathedral's construction began from 1170 and continued into the first half of the thirteenth century. A Romanesque apse preceded the building's Gothic development. Its painted south portal was added around 1225–1235; Pope Gregory X consecrated the cathedral on 20 October 1275.

Editorial interpretation: The movement from the apse to the painted portal offers a way to read successive stages of construction. Keeping the later consecration separate from the building campaigns avoids turning a ceremonial date into a completion date.
