Monuments to visit Bourgogne

The first building dates back to the tenth Century before being restored in the fifteenth century and enlarged in the sixteenth century by Bauffremont-Sennecey. The castle has managed to escape the demolitions of the seventeenth century initiated by Rochelieu. During the French Revolution, it was dismantled by the municipality and was replaced by the church of Sennecey. Nothing is left of this castle except the bastion surrounding wall.

Today, the town hall is located in the former outbuildings of the castle and the Tourist Office, in the old buildings.

A medieval castle of the th century and a th century Renaissance castle, opposite with a beautiful rose garden, is an unforgettable setting. The municipalities are the th, just like the Moroccan pavilion. The main activity is the rental, for sumptuous holidays or weddings, castles and the pavilion as well as twenty-four high-class rooms up to 200 m 2 but it is still possible to visit by appointment. One of the largest pigeonholes of the 2 844 th century with its boulins, was arranged in a bridal room on three levels. It is rented only during marriages. The first level is dedicated to baths, the second to sleep and observing the stars, the third is a circular circular mezzanine. In 1548, the castle of Des was bought by the Marshal of Saint-André. He commanded a new castle to Pierre Lescot, the architect who managed the square courtyard of the Louvre. It was the property of the Condé, the two buildings, the medieval and the Renaissance, until the th century. The castle also welcomes a unique wedding in an unforgettable setting.

Beyond a wind at 27 km/h or 30 km/h, it can grow grain, as it is the only mill of the Yonne that is still capable of grinding. This windmill is referenced in 1750. He loses his wings around 1925. From 1994 onwards, thanks to the Association A Conquests of Wings, it is restored and revived. The ideal place to discover with a little nostalgia the techniques of the millers and the power of the grinding. Secure access from Auxerre, direction Courson-les-Carrières: take the road on the right after you have spent the mill.

Built in 1689 by Vauban, Louis XIV's great military architect, to make reliquaries of canons there, this arsenal played a major role in the supply of the army, during the revolutionary and imperial wars. The pediments of the entries are decorated with arm trophies. The arsenal consists of several buildings of a beautiful architectural complex: One now serves as food markets for the market (every Friday mornings), the others, which housed work of the wheelwrights and the large forge, became annexes of the high school.

François Jouffroy the sculptor chose bronze to celebrate the Emperor. The statue was casted in 1857. Bonaparte is represented: second lieutenant of a company of bombers. The bas-reliefs evoke the splendour of his existence: the Arcola Bridge, the coronation, a session at the council ... and, of course, his stay in Auxonne. This is where he acquired his military training.

The present building was built between 1843 and 1863, on the remains of a convent, created in 1412 and that of the former hospital, built in 1505. What remains today are old elements such as a room for sick soldiers, found below the Sainte-Marie room. The chapel dates from the eighteenth century. Colourful stained-glass windows and a starlight ceiling. The more recent one of the nineteenth century is the apothecary- the pharmacy - has a fine collection of earthenware, utensils and treaties of medicine.

The former logis of the ducs of Burgundy, now town hall, is a brick building of the fifteenth century.

The library of Auxonne has a beautiful reading room dating back to 1850. The oldest books date from the end of the fifteenth century. Access to the library is done through the Xavier-Girault crossing, connecting Antoine-Masson Street to the place of Arms.
