External well, Cathedral Saint-Samson, Dol-de-Bretagne

External well, linked to a second well inside the Chapelle du Crucifix by an underground conduit and fed from the same water source, at the Cathedral Saint-Samson, begun in the 13th century on the site of an older church and completed in the 18th century, in Dol-de-Bretagne, Brittany, France. The linking of 2 indoor and outdoor wells is unique in France. The cathedral is dedicated to one of the founding saints of Brittany and until 1801 was the seat of the archbishopric of Dol.
