Collégiale Saint-Thomas, Crépy-en-Valois, Gothic church ruins in Crépy-en-Valois, France.

The Saint Thomas Collegiate Church features a Gothic facade with a 50-meter-high bell tower and remains of the first bay of the nave.

Built in 1182, the collegiate church became a Temple of Reason during the French Revolution before its permanent closure in 1793.

The monument honors Thomas Becket, who visited the construction site during his exile in France before his assassination in Canterbury in 1170.

Restoration work estimated at over three million euros is underway to preserve the structure following the 2019 collapse.

The municipality conducts a public consultation to choose between three restoration options: freezing current state, preserving with new materials, or complete restoration.
