Dole
Collegiate church

Built between 1509 and 1580, the Notre-Dame Collegiate Church is so imposing that some people believe it is a cathedral. In fact, it is a minor basilica built after the plundering of Louis XI, and symbolises the city's recovery. Its 73-metre high bell tower-porch evokes the intensity of the religious struggles of the time. The interior is surprisingly spacious, accentuated by the sobriety of its late Gothic style.
