It is necessary to climb a little to reach this splendid Romanesque church built in the 11th and 12th centuries. You will discover a magnificent polychrome sculpture of characters and animals from the bestiary of the Middle Ages as well as two pyramids, called "dubes". These, as well as the Romanesque portal and the stained glass windows, have just been restored. The Collegiate Church contains the tomb of Agnes Sorel and possibly that of Ludovico Sforza, patron of Leonardo da Vinci. After archaeological excavations in 2019 and 2021, DNA research should confirm the probabilities (90%).

Saint-Ours et Agnès Sorel
Belle collégiale qui accueille le magnifique tombeau d'Agnès Sorel, favorite de Charles VII et morte à seulement 27 ans.

La Collégiale Saint Ours de Loches est exceptionnelle par son profile de ses clochers qui est extrêmement rare.

Small church located between the dungeon and the home of the royal city, pretty chapter. The tomb of Agnès Sorel was reinstalled there in 2005.

La visite vaut le détour (petit détour car tout proche du Logis Royal), ne serait ce que pour voir le tombeau d'Agnès Sorel qui est splendide.
