The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
La collégiale fut officiellement fondée en pénitence des fautes de Geoffroy Grisegonnelle et de son père Foulques le Bon, après un séjour à Rome de Geoffroy. L'acte de fondation date de 979-985, date probable de l'achèvement de l'édifice, commencé en 973 à la place d'une première église. Cette construction fut remplacée au 11e siècle par une deuxième collégiale Notre-Dame : l'actuelle tour-porche dans son premier état en faisait partie. L'édifice fut en grande partie reconstruit entre 1130 et 1180 à l'initiative du prieur Thomas Pactius. Au 19e siècle, l'édifice prit le vocable de Saint-Ours et remplaça l'église paroissiale Saint-Ours ruinée située dans le fort Saint-Ours. La nouvelle église paroissiale a été restaurée entre 1844 et 1855.

History
The collegiate church was officially founded in expiation for the faults of Geoffroy Grisegonnelle and his father Foulques the Good, after a sojourn in Rome by Geoffroy. The act of foundation dates from 979-985, probable date of the completion of the building, begun in 973 in place of a first church. This construction was replaced in the 11th century by a second collegiate Notre-Dame: the present porch tower in its first state formed part of it. The building was largely rebuilt between 1130 and 1180 at the initiative of prior Thomas Pactius. In the 19th century, the building took the name of Saint-Ours and replaced the ruined parish church of Saint-Ours situated in the fort of Saint-Ours. The new parish church was restored between 1844 and 1855.
