Eglise Saint-Michel de Dijon (Church of Saint Michael of Dijon), Dijon

The Church of Saint Michael of Dijon is a religious site known for its stunning Renaissance facade. It dates back to the 16th century and has been designated as a historical monument since 1840.

The church was originally a wooden chapel in the late 9th century but was replaced by a larger church in 1020. Over time, due to a growing congregation, a new church was built in the late 15th century, with wealthy families funding their own chapels.

The church's construction reflects a mix of Gothic and Renaissance styles, influenced by the architectural trends in Burgundy during the 16th century. The completion of the church's facade and towers took several years, with restorations carried out in subsequent centuries to preserve its beauty.

The Church of Saint Michael holds historical and cultural significance and was a place of religious significance for Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity. Its unique blend of architectural styles and rich history make it a notable landmark in France.
