St. Clement's Church, Mâcon
Facts and practical information
The Saint-Clément church is a Catholic church located in the former commune of Saint-Clément-lès-Mâcon attached in 1856 to Mâcon, in Burgundy, France.
It was rebuilt from 1852 to 1854, in the context of the arrival of the PLM and the erection of the huge railroad embankment that cut the old village down the middle, a few meters in front of the old façade of the parish church by the architect André Berthier on the site of a 6th century funerary basilica built shortly after Mâcon became an episcopal city. This basilica housed the burials of the first bishops of the diocese of Macon. It is the only known Merovingian burial site in southern Burgundy.
Five buildings succeeded each other on this site.
