Collégiale Saint-Liphard de Meung-sur-Loire

Collégiale Saint-Liphard de Meung-sur-Loire, Medieval church in Meung-sur-Loire, France.

The Collégiale Saint-Liphard is a stone church built over the tomb of Saint Liphard of Orléans in Meung-sur-Loire. Its pale grey-beige tower rises above the body of the building, topped with a slate-covered peak and small turrets at its upper corners. Below the peak, rows of arched openings frame a round clock face set into the masonry, while the left section has a steep dark slate roof over lighter stone walls.

Saint Liphard, cousin of Clovis and governor of Orléans, founded a Benedictine abbey here in the 6th century on the site of his tomb. Around 798 Charlemagne gave the church to Theodulf when he made him bishop of Orléans. By 990 it held estates as far apart as Ponthieu, the Pays de Caux, Touraine and Berry, and its greatest extent was reached in the 9th century. In the late 11th century it became the collegiate church of Meung, and it was classified as a monument historique in 1840.

The name honours Liphard of Orléans, a cousin of Clovis and governor of Orléans, who founded a Benedictine abbey here in the 6th century; the church was built on his tomb. On 12 September 2026 plaques commemorating victims of sexual abuse by priests were installed in the collegiate church, in the presence of Bishop Jacques Blaquart and survivors.

The church stands in the town centre of Meung-sur-Loire, in the Loiret department; the building is a classified historical monument, so visits concern the conserved church itself rather than a separate site. The sources give no opening times, entry conditions or parking arrangements, so check locally before travelling. The tomb of Saint Liphard lies inside the church.
