Impressive cathedral that dominates the cityscape of Auxerre together with the Abbaye Saint-Germain.
You can visit the cathedral for free, which you should definitely do. The sight of these incredibly high Gothic vaults is a lasting experience.
If you want to visit the crypt, you have to pay an entrance fee of 3.50 euros.
The crypt was built between 1023 and 1035 and dates from the Romanesque cathedral, which was destroyed in 1215.
The current cathedral was built on the site of the old Romanesque cathedral. The different construction phases stretched from the 13th century to the 16th century.

You can see the Saint-Etienne Cathedral from afar. It shapes the cityscape of Auxerre and can be photographed very well from the bridges over the L'Yonne.
The interior of the church can be visited free of charge; the impressions of the pictures, sculptures, chancel, glass ornaments and the vault exhibited there are impressive.

Saint Stephen (Saint Etienne), to whom Auxerre Cathedral is dedicated, is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and is also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church remembers him on Boxing Day, December 26th.
When Stephen uttered his vision of the open heaven, "And being filled with the Holy Spirit, he looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant that that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
