A honeycomb structural body (1) and a method of manufacturing the structural body, the honeycomb structural body (1) comprising a plurality of honeycomb segments (12) partitioned by partition walls (2) and having a large number of through-holes (3) passed therethrough in axial direction formed integrally with each other, characterized in that spacers (10) are disposed between the honeycomb segments (12), the method of manufacturing the honeycomb structural body (1) comprising the steps of manufacturing the honeycomb segments (12) and, with the spacers (10) provided between the adhesive surfaces (7) of the honeycomb segments (12), sticking the plurality of honeycomb segments (12) to form integrally with each other, whereby the thickness of an adhesive layer between the honeycomb segments can be set to a specified thickness and uniformized to reduce the possibility of defective dimensional accuracy of the honeycomb structural body. |
