Notre-Dame Cathedral of Sées, Sées

The Notre-Dame Cathedral of Sées stands as one of Normandy's finest Gothic cathedrals, constructed between 1220 and 1310. The nave represents pure Norman Gothic architecture from the 1220s-1240s, while the choir and transept showcase later Rayonnant Gothic influences from the Île-de-France region. Two openwork spires rise 70 meters above the town, creating a distinctive silhouette visible across the Orne countryside.
