Collégiale Notre-Dame de Mehun-sur-Yèvre

The Notre-Dame Collegiate Church features a horseshoe-shaped ambulatory and radiating chapels that encircle the building's choir section.

Built in the early 11th century on the foundations of an ancient castrum, the collegiate church housed nine canons and divided the town into two parts.

The sculpted decorations include Romanesque modillions and the Paschal Lamb within a Greek cross above the bell tower porch.

The monument stands between the castle and the old town of Mehun-sur-Yèvre, in the Cher department of the Centre-Val de Loire region.

The passage under the church, created in the 13th century, connects different levels of the town, enabling circulation between upper and lower districts.
