Gregory of Tours mentions a church in Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard as early as the 6th century. The current church was built in the 11th and 12th centuries in Romanesque style. The church is under the patronage of St Vincent de Valencia. Relics of the saint are said to have been brought to Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard in the early Middle Ages and kept in a chapel, which was probably burnt down during the Norman invasions in the 9th century.
