History

Earliest Romanesque remains, late 12th century, preserved in the choir and an arcade over an old north absidiole. The crossing of the transept dates from the 13th century. In the 14th century, construction of the Sainte-Marguerite chapel by Olivier de Clisson. Work in 1461, 1470 and 1480. The church was reworked in the contemporary period. The initial cross form became a sort of rectangle within which are inscribed the nave and choir, the two transepts, two aisles and the Sainte-Marguerite and Sainte-Catherine chapels. A modern tower and a sacristy complete the whole. The façades all present the imprint of 15th century gothic. Inside, the Romanesque pillars between the choir and the Sainte-Catherine chapel are endowed with capitals with figures, animals and volutes. The window arrangements preserve old stained glass.
