Local tradition dates a first oratory on this site, dedicated to Saint Anthony, to the year 902. The present church dates mainly from the 12th and 15th centuries. It has been classified as a historic monument since 2 May 1912, and it stands on the Route des Grands Crus, near the northern end of the Côte de Nuits. ## What you will see Walk around the outside first to see the roof of limestone slabs and the glazed tiles of the bell tower, a Burgundian signature. After renovation works completed around 2015, the church now opens its doors to visitors more regularly. The GR7 long-distance footpath passes right beside it, and Parc Noisot and its Napoleon monument are only a short distance away. The regional heritage inventory calls it the oldest Romanesque building of the Côte Dijonnaise. The nave is the oldest part, and the half-domed apse was added in 1720. Look closely at the two doorways: the lintel of the main door bears a flowered Greek cross, and the side door shows the tau cross of Saint Anthony. Inside, the nave has an open timber roof and round-arched windows. In 1976 two painted wooden statues then kept in the chapel, an 18th-century Saint Anthony and a 16th-century Virgin and Child, were registered as historic objects. ## Planning your visit Opening of the interior can vary, so ask the Gevrey-Chambertin and Nuits-Saint-Georges tourist office before you go. The exterior can be admired at any time. Fixey was a commune of its own until it joined Fixin in 1860, and the hamlet grew up along a single street. It also has an old bread oven, restored in 1974, where a festival each spring lets villagers bake their bread and cakes. Combine the church with Parc Noisot and a tasting in Fixin, whose premiers crus include La Perrière and Clos Napoléon. Check the official website for opening times. ## Did you know?
