Église Saint-Eusèbe

The church of Saint-Eusèbe, founded in the 11th century, is the church of the monastery of Saint-Eusèbe founded by Saint Pallade, bishop of Auxerre from 622 to 657. Its oldest foundation dates back to the 6th century. In 1523, the chevet of the church collapsed due to lack of maintenance. The reconstruction of the church began in 1530, possibly as part of a total reconstruction of the church, and used the Renaissance style.

Cathédrale Saint-Étienne d'Auxerre

Auxerre Cathedral was mainly built between 1215 and 1233, on top of an 11th-century crypt, but construction continued until the 1540s when the Renaissance-style dome replacing the spire at the top of the completed tower was completed. The most outstanding features of the cathedral are the Gothic choir from the first half of the 13th century, the stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th centuries, the particularly artistic apse chapel and ambulatory, the portals with remarkable statuary, three large rose windows and other windows from the 16th century, the transept facades, the crypt and the medieval frescoes.
