Abbaye de Saint-Bénigne
Abbaye de Saint-Bénigne, Religious complex in central Dijon, France.
The abbey contains a Gothic cathedral, medieval monastic buildings, and a three-story rotunda designed for pilgrim circulation around Saint Benigne's relics.
Founded in the 9th century, the abbey transformed into a cathedral in 1792 following the French Revolution and the dissolution of religious orders.
The archaeological museum now occupies the main wing, displaying collections of religious artifacts, sculptures, and architectural elements from different periods.
The site opens daily except Tuesdays, featuring preserved spaces including the chapter house, scriptorium, and monks' dormitory with Gothic vaulted ceilings.
The east wing maintains one of France's oldest existing conventual structures, dating from the 11th century and showcasing Romanesque architecture.
