Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame, Beaune
Collégiale Notre-Dame de Beaune
A 12th-century Burgundian Romanesque church where a deep porch and later Gothic chapels coexist. In summer, its 15th-century Life of the Virgin tapestries are on display.
The church was begun around 1120 under the influence of Cluny Abbey and is a representative example of Burgundian Romanesque architecture. After a fire and several later extensions, it now combines a Romanesque nave with a Gothic porch and chapels. The interior contains 15th-century murals. Its most precious treasure is the wool tapestry series Life of the Virgin, donated by the successors of Nicolas Rolin, which is usually displayed in the choir only in summer. Admission is free. The church lies about 300 meters north of the Hospices de Beaune and can be visited along with it.
