Collégiale Saint-Émilion, Medieval church in Saint-Émilion, France

The Collégiale Saint-Émilion extends 79 meters in length, featuring a 9-meter-wide nave and a 28-meter-wide choir section with vaulted ceilings.

Construction began in the 12th century for the Augustinian canons and was completed in 1306 under Pope Clement V's administration.

The church contains a statue of Saint Valery, the local patron saint of winegrowers, positioned near the sacristy door.

The building underwent major restoration work between 1896 and 1899 by architect Paul Gout following the collapse of its framework in 1876.

The 14th-century cloister forms a perfect square measuring thirty meters on each side with covered galleries supported by pointed arches.
