Accueil Eglise Saint-Pierre
Built in the 13th century, renovated in the 15th century, enlarged in the 16th century and completed in the 17th century, the Church of St. Peter is a vast composite building that is no less harmonious. Decorated with stained glass windows from the 15th and 16th centuries, it contains an organ case
Description
Built in the first third of the 13th century, it is contemporary with the cathedral of Chartres with which it presents similarities. Devastated in 1421, it was rebuilt in 1474. Clément Métézeau raised the façade in 1524, the north tower was built in 1576, but the south tower was never completed. The realization of the south arm of the transept in the first years of the XVIIth marks the end of the works as well as the installation of the golden stained glass windows. It contains an organ case with polychrome sculptures dated 1614 housing an instument made by A. Cavaillé-Coll in 1867-1868, a 12th century Romanesque capital from the collegiate church of St Etienne, a 16th century Christ on the cross, a pulpit and Louis XV confessionals and numerous paintings spread throughout the chapels.
