The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
De la construction du 13e siècle ne subsiste qu'une partie de l'abside. L'édifice a été reconstruit aux 15e et 16e siècle. En 1556, l'église est pillée par les soldats de Rohan. Après les guerres de Religion, les chanoines font restaurer l'édifice et construire des stalles aux panneaux tous différents, représentant des scènes de l'Ecriture. Au nord, les miséricordes figurent les péchés capitaux. L'ornementation reprend les arabesques de style Renaissance.

History
Of the 13th-century construction only part of the apse remains. The building was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1556, the church was plundered by the soldiers of Rohan. After the Wars of Religion, the canons had the building restored and constructed misericords with panels all different, representing scenes from Scripture. To the north, the misericords depict the seven deadly sins. The ornamentation takes up the arabesques of Renaissance style.
