Église Saint-Saturnin de Saulieu

The Saint-Saturnin Church features rounded arches, solid stone walls, and a distinctive spire covered with oak or chestnut shingles.

The church stands on a former Gallo-Roman necropolis at the intersection of several Roman roads, including the Via Agrippa, dating back to the 11th century.

Within the church rest notable figures including chef Bernard Loiseau and sculptor François Pompon, reflecting its role in local heritage.

The church, located on rue de Verdun, remains accessible for religious services under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dijon's administration.

The construction period extended from the 11th to 14th centuries, with subsequent modifications including a 17th-century choir extension.
