Collégiale Saint-Yrieix de Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, Medieval collegiate church in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, France.
The collegiate church combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with a Romanesque bell tower porch and a five-sided Gothic apse.
The construction started in 1181 on the site of a former Romanesque church, initiated to house the relics of Saint Yrieix.
The Saint-Yrieix Bible from the 11th century represents the finest Romanesque manuscript in the region with its decorated capital letters.
The large 19th-century stained glass windows provide natural illumination throughout the main nave of the church.
The church features architectural irregularities between its north and south nave elevations, indicating multiple construction phases without rigid planning.
