Vyones Cathedral is a cathedral in Vyones, France. In the 12th Century, it's Archbishop was Ambrosius.
History
In 1138, Blaise Reynard was commissioned by the town council to sculpt architectural gargoyles. Reynard had completed two – his Grimalkin and Satyre – before he lost his commission to Gerome Mazzal.
The cathedral was, on November 8th, the resting place for Demona and Angelika, before they were found out by Reynard, the one townsperson that knew the gargoyles were not his handiwork. ("For Not Everything With Wings...")
Characteristics
The church had a considerable number of architectural gargoyles on its rooftop, although it is unclear how many were there before messieurs Reynard and Mazzal were given their commissions.
Real World Background
In Clark Ashton Smith's "The Maker of Gargoyles", the cathedral had no specific name, and was considered newly built after three years of construction.
