St Samson's Cathedral in Gothic style, with a double well fed by the same spring and connected by an underground gallery

Built in the monumental Anglo-Norman Gothic style, this cathedral is one of Brittany's jewels. According to local legend, it is linked to Mount Dol by an underground passageway and pays homage to Saint Samson, a churchman born at the end of the5th century. Inside, the carved oak choir stalls, the episcopal throne, the large east window, the tomb of Thomas James and the wooden sculpture of Christ aux outrages are all of great beauty. Unique in France, the church has a double well fed by the same spring and linked by an underground gallery.

La cathédrale Saint-Samson vaut le détour pour les amoureux des "vieilles pierres" qui passeraient dans la région !

Superbe cathédrale mélange de style roman et gothique, toute en granite. Elle surprend par son apparence imposante et sa tour de la façade inachevée. Elle mérite le détour pour les visiteurs de la région.

Un incontournable de la ville de Dol de Bretagne.

Une cathédrale très bien conservée, avec de jolies rosaces, qui se situe dans la vieille ville, entourée de ses restaurants et commerces.

A voir de jour mais également au coucher du soleil pour de jolis reliefs.

Une visite de Dol de Bretagne doit commencer par la cathédrale. Majestueuse. Magnifique. Elle se situe dans le quartier ancien de la ville, en centre ville. On peut juste regretter que la ville de Dol ne fasse pas beaucoup d'efforts pour ses touristes. Rien n'est vraiment fait pour vous donner envie de rester.

La cathédrale St Samson érigée au XIIème et XIIIème siècle est certainement l’une des plus belles cathédrales de Bretagne. A voir : le double puits .
