Saint-Seine Abbey, Gothic abbey in Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye, France
The abbey church displays primitive Gothic architecture with a choir, apse, transept, and an unfinished southern tower in the Burgundy region.
Founded by monk Sigo from Saint-Jean-de-Réome Abbey in 534, the current Gothic church construction started in 1225 under Abbot Olivier's supervision.
The choir contains decorative Gothic balustrades with frescoes from 1504, representing medieval artistic traditions of the Burgundy region.
Located in eastern France's Côte-d'Or department, visitors can explore the church structure and examine the Samaritan fountain near its entrance.
The building underwent three distinct construction phases, with the vaulting of the nave and south transept completed around 1400.
