Choir closing, 1717. These gates come from the Morimond abbey and were installed in the cathedral in 1792. The framing consists of two fluted columns surmounted by a simple moulded capital and an entablature with triglyphs. The very protruding cornice is surmounted by a pediment made of palmettes and volutes rolled around a  cartouche bearing Saint Mary's initials (S.M.) and those of the Morimond abbey (A.M.) to the north.
