About this building
Destroyed during the Hundred Years War, the Church of Saint Peter, which dominates the cemetery of Irai along the Avre, seems to have been rebuilt in the sixteenth century. Formerly the parish of the Duchy of Normandy, which was dependent on the diocese of Evreux, the land of Irai reported to the viscount of Verneuil.
Deep changes in the decor date back to the 17th century: the arches were modified between the naves and the choir and two small lateral altars were installed. In the nineteenth century, the church was completely whitewashed, including paneling and a sacristy was built.
In addition to Christ on the cross, there is a large altar decorated with the cross of the Holy Spirit whose white and gold decoration, with its twisted columns and cherubs, has the precious elegance of the Louis XV style. There is also three altarpieces as well as the eight statues that are classified as Historical Monuments.
