The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ancienne église abbatiale Saint-Yved : 12e siècle, 13e siècle. Pignon sud d'un bâtiment : 13e siècle, 15e siècle. L'un des plus remarquables exemples du premier art gothique. L'église appartenait avant la Révolution à des chanoines réguliers de l'ordre des Prémontrés. Consacré en 1216, ce superbe édifice a perdu quatre travées de la nef au 19e siècle, puis sa flèche de pierre après les deux guerres mondiales.

Former abbey church of Saint-Yved: 12th century, 13th century. Gable of a building to the south: 13th century, 15th century. One of the most remarkable examples of early Gothic art. Before the Revolution, the church belonged to regular canons of the Premonstratensian order. Consecrated in 1216, this superb building lost four bays of the nave in the 19th century, then its stone spire after the two world wars.
