Vézelay Abbey (now known as Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine) was a Benedictine and Cluniac monastery in Vézelay in the Yonne department in northern Burgundy, France.
The Benedictine abbey church of Ste-Marie-Madeleine (or Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene), with its complicated program of imagery in sculpted capitals and portals, is one of the outstanding masterpieces of Burgundian Romanesque art and architecture. Sacked by the Huguenots in 1569, the building suffered neglect in the 17th and the 18th centuries and some further damage during the period of the French Revolution.[1] The church and hill at Vézelay were added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979. Relics of Mary Magdalene can be seen inside the Basilica. History[edit] The Benedictine abbey of Vézelay was founded,[2] as many abbeys were, on land that had been a late Roman villa, of Vercellus (Vercelle becoming Vézelay). Floorplan of Vézelay shows the adjustment in vaulting between the choir and the new nave.
