Cathédrale Saint-Étienne d'Auxerre-- Burgundy
Most of the Burgundian Gothic cathedral was built between 1215 and 1233, above an 11th-century crypt.
Construction continued until the 1540s when the cupola, in Renaissance style that takes the place of one pinnacle on the completed tower, was completed.
Construction on the nave and transepts proceeded slowly throughout the 14th and 15th centuries.
