Semur-en-Auxois, Medieval commune in Côte-d'Or, France
The town sits on a pink granite outcrop, with the River Armançon flowing around its base, creating a natural defensive position.
The fortified castle, constructed in the 13th century, includes the Tour de l'Orle d'Or, which reaches 44 meters in height with 5-meter-thick walls.
The Notre-Dame Collegiate Church, founded in 1225, displays Gothic architecture with a north tympanum depicting the legend of Saint Thomas.
The commune spans 119 square kilometers and maintains a population of 4,068 inhabitants, with direct access to the Canal de Bourgogne.
The River Armançon historically powered local tanneries and mills before the creation of Lac de Pont for the Canal de Bourgogne.
