Burgundy's Essential Landmarks

Burgundy’s architectural legacy spans from the Romanesque masterpieces of Vézelay Abbey and the Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay to the flamboyant Gothic details of Dijon’s churches. The region’s political power is centered at the Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy, while its defensive history is preserved in the 15th-century fortress of Châteauneuf. In Beaune, the Basilique Notre-Dame showcases medieval tapestries, and the Château de Savigny lès Beaune uniquely combines 14th-century architecture with extensive aviation and motor racing museums.
