Old church of Saint-Pierre ou Eglise Saint-Père-la-None

Priory Notre-Dame of Charity-sur-Loire is a Benedictine priory funded in 1059 as “daughter-house” of the Cluny abbey, in Burgundy. Closed in 1791, the priory was listed as a historical monument in 1840 and inscribed in 1998 on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage Route.

The St Aignan church was located inside the walls of the medieval village of Ivoy-Le-Pré in the 13th century, which was ruined and pillaged by the Huguenots. In the 16th century the single nave church was extended by a five section chevet, and then enlarged by the addition of side chapels with beautifully ribbed vaults, forming a transept. Today, the bays of the church are adorned with stained glass windows (Lorain studio) and one can admire many classified objects.

The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption is a 12th century Romanesque building located in Garigny and features a Romanesque entrance made of three rows of carved and molded stones, above which figures can be seen in relief. The nave (12th century) ends with a chevet which was modified in the 16th century. A bell tower and its octagonal spire house two bells. The capitals of the nave and transept are decorated with Romanesque sculptures.
