Dijon entdecken

The former residence of the dukes of Burgundy joins a Gothic palace of the 14th and 15th centuries, including the 46-metre Tour Philippe le Bon, to classical wings built in the 17th and 18th centuries for the Estates of Burgundy. It now holds Dijon's town hall and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, where the tombs of the dukes are displayed.

Dijon Cathedral is the Gothic church of the former Benedictine abbey of Saint-Bénigne, built between 1280 and 1325 and seat of the archbishops of Dijon since 2002. Its roofs are covered in patterned glazed tiles, and below the east end survives the crypt of the Romanesque rotunda completed in 1016, shown on guided tours.
