Sées Cathedral, Gothic Catholic cathedral in Sées, France.
The cathedral features two prominent spires reaching 230 feet in height, with pointed arches and ribbed vaults defining its architectural structure.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1210, replacing three earlier churches that previously stood at this location in Normandy.
The cathedral's choir contains four detailed bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, to whom the building is dedicated.
During July and August, visitors can attend Sunday afternoon organ recitals featuring the restored Cavaille-Coll instrument within the cathedral.
The north tower received three new bells in 2015, enhancing the musical capabilities of this religious monument.
