Description
According to the archives, there is evidence of a priory dependent on Cluny around 950. This priory was governed by the Tournon family. The church was rebuilt in 1338 and the Tournons were buried here. It was in this church that Charles V married Jeanne de Bourbon in 1350, and the building was surrounded by a cemetery.
The building subsequently suffered from the passage of time, and was damaged during the Wars of Religion and the Revolution.
The church was looted and its ornaments sold. In 1711, no celebrations were possible due to flooding, as the Rhône was inside the church. At that time, the church had 5 chapels belonging to various local noble families (Mure de Larnage, Soubise, Berger, etc.). Today's fonts are the original ones, made from natural shells donated by the Monneron brothers.
After restoration, the church was returned to worship in 1803. In 1821, the Drôme deputy asked King Louis XVIII to donate 4 paintings, 2 of which are still in the church (Un religieux en prière and St Mathieu).
The old church was demolished between 1834 and 1835. The new church was consecrated in May 1842. The spire-shaped bell tower dates from 1897. The 10 bells of the carillon were installed here. The church was then surrounded by houses, which were demolished in 1975.
