Église Saint-Pierre du marché

The Saint-Pierre du Marché Church features a Renaissance portal with four strong pillars supporting the sanctuary and transept sections of the building.

Following the destruction of Saint-Pierre du Château Church under Philippe-Auguste's orders, this church's construction began in the 13th century with expansions in the 15th century.

The church contains a stained glass window depicting the Miracle of Oats, narrating Saint Radegonde's escape from Paris to Poitiers in the 6th century.

The church maintains regular opening hours throughout the year, welcoming both worshippers and visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements.

This religious site gained notoriety as the ministry location of Urbain Grandier, a priest accused of witchcraft and executed on August 18, 1634.
