Beaune entdecken

Notre-Dame de Beaune is a collegiate church in the centre of Beaune, one of the last large Romanesque churches of Burgundy, begun in the mid-12th century on the model of Cluny and finished early in the 13th. Inside are 15th-century wall paintings, a 17th-century organ and tapestries on the life of the Virgin given in 1500; a gallery of the 13th-century cloister survives.

The Hospices de Beaune, or Hôtel-Dieu, is a former hospital for the poor founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of the Duke of Burgundy, and his wife Guigone de Salins. It took in patients until the early 1970s and is now a museum; visitors see the glazed tile roofs of the courtyard, the great ward and Rogier van der Weyden's Last Judgement.
