Basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune is a significant example of Burgundian Gothic architecture, originally constructed beginning in the 12th century. The basilica evolved over several centuries; its facade dates primarily from the 14th and 15th centuries while the interior reflects various stylistic influences accumulated through ongoing renovations. Notably, the church houses stained glass windows dating back to the 13th century and features elaborate sculptural details. It served as a collegiate church before becoming a parish church during the French Revolution. The building's acoustics are considered favorable for vocal and instrumental performances due to its high vaulted ceilings and stone construction. It remains an active place of worship alongside hosting cultural events.
