Notre-Dame (Auxonne)
The former Notre-Dame collegiate church in Auxonne ( Département Côte-d'Or ) is one of the most important creations of the earlier Gothic in Burgundy .
history
Instead of a previous Romanesque building, of which a tower-like structure has been preserved over the south transept, construction of a new main nave began around 1200, followed by the choir and the side apses . Construction was completed around 1250. Later changes were the side chapels built in the 14th and 15th centuries and v. A. the portal system renovated around 1516 by Maître Loys, the builder of Saint-Michel in Dijon. A Jacquemart installed in the tower in 1525 has disappeared today. During a restoration in the second half of the 19th century, the crossing tower was completely renewed, which was eleven meters higher than the previous one.
description
The church is a three-aisled basilica with a choir and transept with a crossing tower and a two- tower west facade (the north tower of the facade is cut off). The tall nave walls of the seven- bay cross - rib vaulted nave are divided into three storeys by side aisle arcades , triforium and upper aisle . The two-shell wall typical of the Burgundian Gothic is only hinted at by the thriforium and walkway in the upper storey. Like the windows in the chancel, the upper facade windows of the eastern bays are still immaculate lancet windows. The three-storey structure continues in the choir. Here, behind the triforium, there are diagonal clover-leaf windows.
The 16th century narthex is one of the last works in Gothic forms in Burgundy (the sculptures added in the 19th century are based on the Fountain of Moses in Champmol).
Furnishing
The most remarkable piece of equipment in the church is a Madonna , originally installed in 1447 at the Porte de Pantesson , which is attributed to the Spanish sculptor Juan de la Huerta , who worked in Dijon .
organ
The organ goes back to an instrument that was built in 1615 by the organ builder Simon Duprey, and that was expanded to include a positive in 1716 and a pedal in 1746 . In the years 1789–1790 the instrument was reorganized by the organ builder François Callinet. After the restoration by Laurent Plet (Troyes), the organ has the following disposition again today :
