Saint-Thibault - Saint-Thibault

What is the parish church of the tiny village Saint-Thibault, seen here, was the center of a priory, that was founded in 1190. In the early times, the priory had erected a Romanesque church.

After the "translation" of Saint Thibault“s relics to this church (1240), pilgrims arrived here in greater numbers, what created "business". So end of the 13th century the monks started to replace the Romanesque church with a "modern" Gothic one. The choir was built between 1299 and 1323.

This large church collapsed in 1712. A fire burnt down what was rebuilt 16 years later. So that only the choir, a transept chapel and this early Gothic portal still existed, when a humble rebuilding process started mid 18th century. Seen on the tympanum is the "Assumption of Mary"
