The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Fondée vers 915, reconstruite vers 1130-1140, jusqu'au milieu du 13e siècle, l'église Saint-Pierre servit d'église paroissiale aux Compiègnois habitant à l'intérieur des remparts. En effet, c'est en 1207 que Saint-Germain se trouvant hors des murs, l'Evêque de Soissons divisa la ville en trois paroisses, mais ce n'est qu'en 1235 que commença la construction de Saint-Jacques. L'église Saint-Pierre devient prieuré en 1185, le resta jusqu'en 1606 et servit de chapelle au couvent des Frères Minimes qui s'installèrent alors à proximité. Les bâtiments conventuels et l'église furent vendus en 1791 et adjugés au Procureur de la Commune de Compiègne.

Founded around 915, rebuilt around 1130-1140, until the middle of the 13th century, the church of Saint-Pierre served as the parish church for the inhabitants of Compiègne living within the ramparts. Indeed, it was in 1207 that Saint-Germain being situated outside the walls, the Bishop of Soissons divided the city into three parishes, but it was only in 1235 that the construction of Saint-Jacques began. The church of Saint-Pierre became a priory in 1185, remained so until 1606 and served as the chapel of the convent of the Friars Minor who settled there then. The convent buildings and the church were sold in 1791 and awarded to the Procureur of the Commune of Compiègne.
