A little history

Built at the beginning of the 12th century, it was enlarged in the 13th century. It was at this time that an arch of 14 meters spanning the Eure was built to support the choir of the church in flamboyant Gothic style.

Since its renovation in 2000, the collegiate church of Saint-André has hosted various events, including exhibitions of contemporary art as part of the "Chemin des Arts".
