Joigny, Medieval commune in Yonne, France
Joigny is a town along the Yonne River in Burgundy, stretching across a slope with stone buildings and towers from different periods. The buildings display architecture shaped by medieval construction and later additions.
The settlement began as Joviniacum in Roman times when a Roman official established a post around the 4th century. This early foundation developed over time into a significant regional town.
The Church of Saint Jean displays a marble representation of the Holy Sepulchre from the 15th century using regional artistic techniques. This reflects the religious traditions that shaped the community over time.
The town sits along the Yonne River and is walkable through its streets and historic areas. Local services and information can be found at the town hall for visitor guidance and assistance.
The Church of Saint André preserves a ladder fragment that recalls the successful defense against English attackers in the 15th century. This unusual relic tells of a dramatic moment in local history.
