374 Burgundia is a typical Main belt asteroid. It is classified as an S-type asteroid.

It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on September 18, 1893 in Nice.

Burgundia was long thought to be a member of the now defunct Ceres asteroid family, but was found to be an unrelated interloper on the basis of its non-matching composition (A Cellino et al "Spectroscopic Properties of Asteroid Families", in Asteroids III, University of Arizona Press p. 633-643 (2002) ).
