Saint-Brice - Notre-Dame de l’Assomption de Châtre

Saint-Brice - Notre-Dame de l’Assomption de Châtre
Notre-Dame de l’Assomption was the church of the Augustinian "Abbey of Châtre". The church, that today is completey isolated, surrounded by fields and meadows, was erected in the 12th century.

During the Wars of Religion the abbey, that actually was a collegiate of Augustinian canons, got ruined. After the French Revolution the buildings were declared national property and sold as "Bien national".

Most of the buildings got dismanteled, but the church survived.
