Collégiale Saint-Lazare d'Avallon, Romanesque church in Avallon, France
The Saint-Lazare Collegiate Church displays rounded arches, thick stone walls, and two remaining portals from its original 12th-century Burgundian facade construction.
The church received a relic of Saint Lazare from Henry the Great, Duke of Burgundy, around the year 1000 and adopted its current name in 1146.
The church served as an important stop for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela, drawn by the presence of Saint Lazare's relic.
The choir section sits 2.5 meters below the portal level, requiring visitors to navigate different elevation levels when exploring the interior spaces.
The church's facade stands at an angle not perpendicular to the nave axis, creating an irregular architectural layout that differs from standard church designs.
