Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne tells two stories at once: the high, patterned roofs and spire that mark Dijon’s skyline, and the older circle below where the city keeps its first memory of the place. Beneath the Gothic shell lies the year-1000 rotunda’s crypt, reopened in 2024 after years of careful work, which makes the building read from bottom up: early medieval martyrium, 13th- to 14th-century church, modern city around it. In 1792 the abbey church became the cathedral as Revolutionary reforms remapped the Church. The Third Republic set today’s silhouette in 1896 with a 93-metre spire; the Separation crisis reached the doors in 1906 with the inventory of church goods. At Liberation in September 1944 a memorial Mass filled the nave. In December 1951 an effigy of Father Christmas was hanged and burned on the forecourt, sparking a national argument that Claude Lévi-Strauss later anatomised. Raised to a metropolitan archdiocese in 2002, Saint-Bénigne continues to host that double life: shrine and landmark, ritual and civic stage, where France’s debates about belief, state and heritage have repeatedly...

This is the main cathédrale of Dijon. A magnificent building even from the outside with its glazed burgundy tile roofs and every bit as gothic and romanesque façades, and it's the tallest building in Dijon. You feel welcomed here! It has a rich history dating back to the late 1200! Inside is stunning and stupendous with its magnificent nave and spectacular choir vaults. The nave is believed to have contained burials and there's a crypt in the lower church accessible by a staircase. The organ gallery is magnificent with stained-glass windows abound giving the interior a glowing effects. As a listed historic monument, it's a must visit if you...

La Cattedrale di San Benigno (Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne) a Digione è un notevole esempio di architettura gotica borgognona, con una storia che risale a oltre un millennio fa. Originariamente costruita come chiesa abbaziale, divenne cattedrale nel 1792. 

L’edificio attuale, costruito tra il 1280 e il 1393, presenta una facciata occidentale sobria, affiancata da due torri quadrate alla base e ottagonali nella parte superiore. Il tetto è caratterizzato da tegole smaltate tipiche della Borgogna, disposte in motivi geometrici colorati. 

All’interno, la cattedrale offre un ambiente austero ed elegante, con una navata centrale alta 27,5 metri, affiancata da due navate laterali. Le volte a crociera e le colonne slanciate contribuiscono a creare un senso di verticalità e solennità. 

Uno degli elementi più affascinanti è la cripta romanica, risalente all’anno 1000, unico resto della rotonda a tre piani costruita sotto l’abate Guglielmo di Volpiano. La cripta ospita il martyrium di San Benigno, con un pavimento in marmo colorato e splendidi capitelli scolpiti. 

Secondo le recensioni dei visitatori, la cattedrale è descritta come semplice ma interessante e impressionante, con alcune lapidi insolite e un museo archeologico nelle vicinanze. Altri sottolineano la bellezza della cattedrale, sia all’interno che all’esterno, e consigliano di visitare l’interno. 

In sintesi, la Cattedrale di San Benigno a Digione è un capolavoro dell’architettura gotica, che combina storia, arte e spiritualità, offrendo ai visitatori un’esperienza culturale e religiosa di...

Beautiful Church with high ceilings. Its excellent features are the presence of highly artistic statues, which many museums of the world could envy. The cathedral left a good impression, a bright tall building with huge windows. Separately, it should be said about the church organ, if you say that it is beautiful, it's nothing to say! And how does it sound!

Visita obligada si se tiene la infinita fortuna de viajar y recorrer la bellísima ciudad de Dijon en Francia. La Catedral es de estilo Gótico, de líneas que se continúan hasta perderse en la altura de sus bóvedas. La ornamentación de su construcción, en general, es austera; pero la hacen resaltar los detalles que se acumulan tanto dentro, como fuera de la construcción: las esculturas, los vitrales, las tallas en piedra y madera de relieves, el portal (románico en estilo), la ornamentación exterior de las torres, el altar, etcétera y más etcétera. Imposible describir la emoción que produce esta hermosa e histórica Catedral. El consejo: ir temprano por la mañana (la cierran entre las 12:00 a 14:00 de lunes a viernes), y bien armados con cámara de fotografía y/o vídeo de alta calidad, y pertrechados con varias memorias con gran almacenamiento de megabytes.
