Saint Michael Church

The beautiful church ofSaint Michel is close to the palace of the Dukes of Dijon, and was constructed on the site of a chapel of the 9th century. The present church dates from the 15th century, when the Catholic community built Dijon, a strange fact when back then the state usually paid for the churches. This building is in a Gothic style, and to create the central choir in 1499. Later the work stopped due to a lack of money, and war against the Swiss. It was finished in 1529, and was dedicated to the archangel Saint Michael. They took the church after the French Revolution, and most of the works of art were destroyed.
