Mausoleum of Bourgogne, Byzantine mausoleum in Bourgogne-Fresne cemetery, France.
The mausoleum spans 18 meters by 10 meters, featuring Byzantine architecture with a nave, transept, and semi-circular choir built from light-colored stone.
Between 1898 and 1914, Marie-Théodorine Zoé Promsy constructed this monument to honor her husband Jean-Marie Faynot, a magistrate who died in 1895.
The interior mosaics, created with gold leaf, and stained glass windows were designed by Georges-Antoine Rochegrosse following Byzantine traditions.
The monument stands 10 kilometers north of Reims, accessible via departmental road CD 274 with parking facilities nearby.
The central statue carved from white Carrara marble depicts Jean-Marie Faynot lying on a ceremonial bed, wearing his magistrate robe.
