Auxerre Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Étienne d'Auxerre) is a Roman Catholic church, dedicated to Saint Stephen, located in Auxerre, Burgundy, France. It was constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries, on the site of a Romanesque cathedral from the 11th century, whose crypt is found underneath the cathedral.[1] It is known for 11th century Carolingian frescoes found in the crypt, and for its large stained glass windows.[2] Since 1823 it has been the seat of a diocese united with that of Sens Cathedral.[3]
