Burgundy's Religious Heritage

Burgundy’s religious landscape features some of Europe's most influential medieval architecture. This collection includes the UNESCO-listed Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay and the Romanesque Basilica of Vézelay, a major stop on the Camino de Santiago. Highlights range from the ruins of Cluny Abbey, once the center of Western Christianity, to the pioneering Gothic design of Sens Cathedral. The list also covers the Burgundian Romanesque style of Autun and the unique sculpted facade of the Church of Notre-Dame in Dijon.
