Description
The church of Our Lady of the Assumption was built in 1014. It is therefore one of the oldest church in the Diocese. In 1060, it became a college thanks to Pope Alexander II, as the Notre-Dame-de-l'Épine.
The college was renovated several times. In the thirteenth century, the choir and the chevet were rebuilt, and in the sixteenth century the collaterals were rebuilt. The nave is 43-meter long and 9-meter wide. Its backbone is 15.4 meters high. The nave, was also renovated in the sixteenth century.
The collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Assumption was listed as a historical monument on several occasions between 1912 and 1979, both to protect the building and for its exceptional treasures. Indeed, within the college, there is a drum dating from the thirteenth century and a carved wooden stalls dating from the sixteenth century that illustrate scenes from the Bible. There is also an exceptional organ dating from the sixteenth century (renovated in 1987) involved in giving a special sound in the college, unmatched in the region.
Two other treasures are present in this college, we can discover an Van Loo painting of the Virgin representing infant Jesus, which has a very high value, and a reliquary bust that houses a Saint Marcel phalanx, which was saved from the flames of the pyre by an old barjolaise in 1562.
