The collegiate church of Sainte-Croix, a Romanesque building with a Poitevin character, a cultural space with exhibitions and concerts.
Superb Romanesque building built in the 11th century, the collegiate church is a typically Poitevin building in which the six large round pillars of the choir reveal the Burgundian influence, coming from the Benedictine monks of the abbey of Tournus. In 1634, it was the place of exorcism sessions during the trial of Urbain Grandier. A metal framework from the Universal Exhibition of 1889 replaces the vault, after the demolition of the ten pillars of the nave. Covered market, it is today a cultural space punctuated by animations, temporary exhibitions and concerts.

Collégiale Sainte-Croix 86200 Loudun
La Collégiale Sainte-Croix , aujourd’hui espace cultural, est un très beau bâtiment dont j’ai pu admirer l’extérieur seulement. J’étais en effet à Loudun un jeudi et c’était un jour de fermeture, ce que j’avais oublié dans l’organisation de mes visites ! Cela me fera sans doute une occasion de revenir dans cette charmante ville.

Un extérieur d'église plutôt sobre laisse place à l'intérieur à une surprise : une charpente métallique issue de l'expo universelle de Paris. Accueil très agréable et découverte d'une expo dans ce lieu atypique
