Collégiale Saint-Pierre du Dorat, Romanesque collegiate church in Le Dorat, France.

The Saint-Pierre collegiate church spans 77 meters in length and 39 meters at the transept, featuring a Latin cross layout with gray granite walls.

The structure received its historical monument classification in 1846, following centuries of modifications including major reconstruction works between 1112 and 1170.

The church holds the sarcophagi of Saints Israel and Theobald in its 11th-century crypt, marking its importance in regional religious heritage.

The interior contains pink granite Carolingian baptismal fonts and restored Cavaillé-Coll organs, with stained glass windows installed between 1870 and 1885.

The church tower displays a 13th-century gilded copper angel statue and contains a lantern that illuminates the interior through pendentive domes.
