Vézelay Abbey
The Basilica of Vézelay was originally an abbey church, a place where the roads of Compostelle passed through. While a monastic community has been documented on the site since the 9th century, and the original building was destroyed by fire in 1120, the current building was built in the years 1120-1150 for the Romanesque state. The choir was rebuilt in the second half of the 12th century in a style of the first Burgundian Gothic style.
