The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Saint Austinde construit une chapelle consacrée en 1060. Le saint des lieux est Saint-Nicolas. L'église devient vite une collégiale dont les moines suivent la règle de Saint-Augustin. En 1569, l'église est endommagée par les troupes de Montgomery, notamment au niveau des voûtes ; elle est réparée en 1662. Au 18e siècle, installation des stalles. Dans la seconde moitié du 19e siècle, plusieurs campagnes de restauration : abside, chapiteaux (1860) , agrandissement de la nef (1878). L'église conserve des vestiges du 12e siècle de grande qualité : décor sculpté et peintures (Christ en majesté dans une mandorle entouré des Evangélistes).

Saint Austinde builds a chapel consecrated in 1060. The saint of the place is Saint-Nicolas. The church quickly becomes a collegiate church whose monks follow the rule of Saint-Augustine. In 1569, the church is damaged by the troops of Montgomery, notably at the level of the vaults; it is repaired in 1662. In the 18th century, installation of the stalls. In the second half of the 19th century, several restoration campaigns: apse, capitals (1860), enlargement of the nave (1878). The church preserves remains of the 12th century of great quality: sculptured decoration and paintings (Christ in Majesty in a mandorla surrounded by the Evangelists).
