The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
A l'origine, annexe du prieuré de Rosières donné à l'abbaye de Cluny en 1111. En 1617, l'édifice devient église collégiale avec l'installation des Oratoriens. Construction d'une nouvelle nef de 1669 à 1674 qui présente un mélange d'architecture classique et de persistance gothique (croisées d'ogives). Les huit chapelles qui s'ouvrent sur la nef sont également d'inspiration gothique. Seule la tribune à balustrade reposant sur trois arcades est purement classique. Le choeur gothique constitue la partie la plus ancienne, avec la chapelle ducale de style flamboyant. Cet édifice est un exemple de la persistance des techniques gothiques en plein 17e siècle.

History
Originally an annex of the priory of Rosières given to the abbey of Cluny in 1111. In 1617, the building became a collegiate church with the installation of the Oratorians. Construction of a new nave from 1669 to 1674 which presents a mixture of classical architecture and Gothic persistence (rib vaults). The eight chapels that open onto the nave are also inspired by Gothic style. Only the balustrade gallery resting on three arcades is purely classical. The Gothic choir constitutes the oldest part, with the ducal chapel in flamboyant style. This building is an example of the persistence of Gothic techniques in the middle of the 17th century.
