History
The church was built on the lower part of an old castle whose lower rooms exist below. These rooms are fitted with arrow slits. The entrance motif of the chapel has retained its sculptures. The collegiate church was founded in 1527 by Lancelot de la Touche. The vaults rise to more than twelve metres.
