The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame de Beaune is a canonical collection dating from the second half of the 12th century located in Beaune in Côte-d'Or.
The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame de Beaune is part of the last large Romanesque churches of Burgundy. Its construction was begun in the middle of the 12th century on the clunysien model and was completed at the beginning of the next century in maintaining a remarkable stylistic unity.
The canons started to build the building in the middle of the 12th century and the construction, from East to West, not ended at the beginning of the 13th century. Chanter buildings date from the end of the 12th century, the middle of the 13th century porch.
After the fire in 1272, rebuilding began; the high parts of the apse were reconstructed at the level of the blind Arcade: the Romanesque Windows were replaced by huge Gothic Windows with tracery and buttresses on the novels foothills of the ambulatory. the cornices and the ambulatory Windows were modified, the roof and Tower of the transept.
The chapels were added in the 13th century to the 16th century. the most remarkable are the Saint-Léger decorated of murals and the button Chapel dated 1530. The Gothic church spire was replaced by an imperial roof built from 1580 to 1588, on the plans of Hugues Sambin.
The Church has a nave with two bottom sides, a transept and a choir with apse, ambulatory and radiating chapels. The nave, the transept and the choir are covered with broken vaults, the aisles and the ambulatory vaults, the porch, the apse chapels, the cloister and the chapter room vaults of warheads, the chapel ceiling button.
To the left of the choir is located the old sacristy, right, on the floor, the old chapel of St. Michael (oratory of Nicolas Rolin) of which the apse, lit by a window full-handlebar, is supported by a tailpiece and covered with a tree-lined terrace balustrade. A corridor allowed communication with the canonical building. The right arm of the transept Portal opens on a gallery of cloister in seven bays overcomes part of the chanter buildings, currently used as a rectory.
