Collegiate church with sculpted capitals, frescoes and wall paintings from the 12th and 13th centuries

This Romanesque collegiate church, built of local granite, is one of the largest and oldest in the region, dating from the 11th to mid-13th centuries. Its distinctive features include a choir almost as large as the nave, and a 13th-century lantern for the dead at the height of the north transept. The church features sculpted capitals, a series of frescoes and wall paintings from the 12th and 13th centuries, a fine 12th-century sculpted tomb containing the relics of saints Armand, Junien and Théodore, polychrome statues from the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, a reliquary bust of Saint Amand, a champlevé enamel shrine, etc.
