You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Dijon Cathedral''', or the '''Cathedral of Saint Benignus of Dijon''' (((lang-fr|Cathédrale Saint-Bénigne de Dijon))), is a [[Roman Catholic]] [[church architecture|church]] located in the town of [[Dijon]], [[Burgundy (region)|Burgundy]], [[France]], and dedicated to [[Saint Benignus of Dijon]]. The [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] cathedral building, constructed between 1280 and 1325, and dedicated on 9&nbsp;April 1393, is a [[Monument historique|listed national monument]].

Originating as the church of the '''Abbey of St. Benignus''', it became the seat of the [[Diocese of Dijon]] during the [[French Revolution]], replacing the previous cathedral when it was secularised, and has been the seat of the succeeding [[Archbishopric of Dijon]] since the elevation of the diocese in 2002.

==History==

The first church here was a [[basilica]] built over the supposed [[sarcophagus]] of Saint Benignus, which was placed in a crypt constructed for it by Saint Gregory of [[Langres]] in 511; the basilica over the crypt was completed in 535. From the early 9th century St .Bénigne was the personal monastery of the bishops of Langres. In 869 Isaac, Bishop of Langres, re-founded it as a [[Rule of St. Benedict|Benedictine]] abbey,<ref>[https://curate.nd.edu/show/js956d59t7t "Dijon Cathedral",  CurateND]</ref> and restored the basilica at the same time.

In 989 Bruno, Bishop of Langres, requested [[Majolus of Cluny|Mayeul]], [[Abbot of Cluny]], to send monks to re-settle the abbey, grown decadent, as a [[Cluniac]] house.<ref>Conant, Kenneth John. "Cluny II and St. Bénigne at Dijon", ''Archaeologia'', vol.99, 1965, pp. 179–194, ((doi|10.1017/S0261340900011152))</ref> In 990 [[William of Volpiano]] was appointed the new abbot. By 1002, the ruin of the previous building had been razed and construction began on a new [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] structure designed by William, consisting of a subterranean church round the sarcophagus of Benignus, a ground floor church for worship, and a [[Rotunda (architecture)|rotunda]],<ref name=religiana>[https://religiana.com/dijon-cathedral "Dijon Cathedral", Religiana]</ref> 17 metres in diameter, on three levels in the place of the apse, linking the two.((efn|The construction the new abbey over the next decades became soon one of the most ambitious and most prestigious buildings of its time, since it exceeded even the dimensions of its contemporary mother monastery [[Cluny Abbey]] (known as Cluny II). See the reconstruction by Kenneth J. Conant ([[#Con1965|1965]]).)) Dedicated in October 1016 by [[Lambert I (bishop of Langres)|Lambert I]],<ref>Geary, Patrick J., ''Phantoms of Remembrance: Memory and Oblivion at the End of the First Millennium''. Princeton University Press. (1994). p. 4</ref> this suite of buildings was decorated in the ornate Cluniac style, of which only a few traces survive.
[[File:F08.Saint-Bénigne Dijon.Rekonstruktion.001.2.jpg|thumb|350px|left|Reconstruction of William of Volpiano's Abbey by Ann Wethey and Kenneth Conant]]
In 1137 a fire destroyed most of the town of Dijon and damaged the monastery and its church. The repaired building was consecrated by [[Pope Eugene III]] in 1147.

In 1272 the crossing tower collapsed, destroying the whole of the upper church and severely damaging the subterranean one, and smashing some of the supporting columns of the rotunda. Then the abbot, Hugh of Arc, of a powerful Burgundian family, was able, thanks to his contacts, to mobilise enough support to begin the construction of a new [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] abbey church in 1281. Progress was at first rapid, and at Hugh's death in 1300 the building was close to completion. Progress slowed, however, and the work was not finished until 1325. The new church, unlike its Cluniac predecessor, is noted for its plainness and severity.

The abbey was secularised during the [[French Revolution]], but the church was made, firstly, a parish church, and then in 1792 the cathedral of the Diocese of Dijon. The rotunda was however destroyed at that time; all that remains is the lowest storey, which was excavated in the 19th century and has since been reworked as a crypt.<ref name=religiana/>
