France, Burgundy, Semur en Auxois-Notre Dame Collegiate Church

Notre-Dame of Semur-En-Auxois is considered as a remarkable example of the Gothic art. Most parts of the edifice date from the first half of the 13th century. Until the beginning of the 18th century, Notre-Dame remained a priory church, used by Benedictine monks. During the revolution it became a temple to the Goddess Reason.  Notre-Dame was restored in the middle of the 19th century, by the famous architect Viollet-Le-Duc. Adorned with vivid colors, like in the Middle Ages, Our Lady's chapel contains a 14th century inspired statue. The 13th century stained glass windows can be easily recognized by the intense crimson and deep blue.
