Church of Saint-Michel, Dijon
Église Saint-Michel de Dijon
A Gothic church crowned with a lavish Renaissance façade. The portal reliefs depict the Last Judgment, making it a showcase of French Renaissance religious architecture.
The main body of the church was built in the late 15th century, and its façade was remodeled in Renaissance style in the 16th century. Three tiers of columns, arches and two towers give it an imposing presence. Above the central portal is a carving of the Last Judgment, and the lintel reliefs blend biblical and classical mythological themes. The interior is Gothic, with 17th-century altarpieces and stained glass. Admission is free. It stands about 200 meters east of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, close to the Musée Rude and the Musée Magnin, so all three can be explored on foot together.
