I've always wondered how large this church (basilica?) is.? Anyone ever been?? How many people does it seat?

Subject: Re: Fw: Gothic organ cases
All,
How about this organ as an example of a Gothic case. It's the
I/10 instrument built in 1435 in Notre Dame de Valere in Sion,
Switzerland. A photo and stop list can be found at:

The horizontal pipe mouths and the tracery of the wood carvings are
at least 2 gothic characteristics. Are they not?
