Description

The construction of Saint Michael Church began in 1497 and it was consecrated in 1529, but the north tower wasn’t finished until 1667. Originally conceived according to a gothic structure, it integrated Renaissance elements as the building process went on.

NB: The original caption mistakes Saint Michael Church for the Dijon cathedral. It reads: Cathédrale de Dijon.
