About Auxerre Cathedral
Auxerre Cathedral is a Roman Catholic Church placed in Auxerre, Burgundy, France. The cathedral is devoted to Saint Stephen, and is thought for its large stained glass home windows. Most of the Burgundian Gothic cathedral became built between 1215 and 1233, above an 11th century crypt. Construction persevered until the 1540s when the cupola in Renaissance style that takes the place of one pinnacle at the finished tower was completed. The first building campaign erected the chevet at the liturgical east quit observed later inside the century through a new facade and the bases of recent towers at the west give up.
Construction on the nave and transepts proceeded slowly in the course of the 14th and 15th centuries. The narrative sculptural application of the portals on the west give up is referred to for their extent and range. Guillaume de Seignelay, bishop of Auxerre determined to undertake the reconstruction of the older edifice approximately 1215, to which he set an example through contributing closely and continually from his own resources or even bequeathed price range after his transfer to the see of Paris in 1220.
