Historic Religious Building

CATHÉDRALE SAINT-SAMSON DE DOL-DE-BRETAGNE

Dol Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Dol-de-Bretagne, Brittany, dedicated to Saint Samson. The building is notable for its eclectic mix of styles and idiosyncrasies, such as the incomplete north tower on the main west-facing entrance. The tower was begun in 1520 but never finished due to lack of funds. A local myth has it that the top was knocked off by the devil, who threw the nearby Dol menhir at the building, which was buried in the ground in consequence.
