Abbaye de Saint-Bénigne, Religious complex in central Dijon, France.

Abbaye de Saint-Bénigne is a former Benedictine monastery in central Dijon. Its church, rebuilt in Gothic style between 1280 and 1393, became Dijon Cathedral in 1792. The surviving Romanesque wing from the 11th century, among the oldest monastic buildings in France, now houses the archaeological museum. A scale model shows the complex with its cloister and foundations.

The monastery was founded in the 9th century and developed over centuries as a religious center. After the French Revolution, it was converted into a cathedral in 1792 when religious orders were dissolved.

An archaeological museum occupies the main wing today, displaying religious objects, sculptures, and architectural pieces from different periods. Visitors can observe how sacred art evolved across centuries here.

The former monastic rooms now house the Musée archéologique de Dijon, entered from the main wing of the abbey. Inside, the chapter house and the 30-metre scriptorium occupy the ground level, the Gothic dormitory the first floor, and 17th-century rooms the second. The scriptorium lies below the present ground level, since the floor rose over a thousand years.

The chapter house, built in the first half of the 11th century, is the oldest surviving monastic chapter house in France. It kept that role until the 15th century and also served as a burial place: five abbots and two nobles were interred there between 1130 and 1474. The Maurist monks later turned it into a cellar.
