This cathedral, the former "Cloître Notre-Dame" of the canons, is the most beautiful religious building in the region. The shape and dimensions are impressive. The choir dates from 1200, the transept from the 13th century, the nave from the 14th-15th century. The 50 m high facade tower is decorated with vertical blind arches and crowned with watchtowers (15th century). On the middle buttress of the southern portal there is a statue of the Virgin Mary (14th century), and on the tympanum a Last Judgement with very few chosen ones. In the corner next to the choir there is an octagonal Romanesque tower.

The sundial at St. Omer Cathedral is an impressive astronomical instrument that tells the time based on the position of the sun. It is one of the largest sundials in France and is located on the south wall of the cathedral. The sundial is made of stone and has a diameter of about 3.5 meters. It was built in 1561 and is still in good condition. The design of the sundial is very detailed and includes several circles and lines that indicate the time at different times of the year. It is a beautiful example of the astronomical knowledge of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
