A 16th century building, it is distinguished by its dome surmounted by a lantern (small slender lantern).

Two paintings discovered in the church of Saint-Antoine de Loches have been studied and restored.

Ancien clocher d'une église ou chapelle (selon les sources) elle est propriété de la commune depuis la Révolution. Au pied de la tour, une signalétique présente son histoire, mais il est dommage que aucune visite soit proposée en dehors des journées du patrimoine.
Le quartier est agréable, j'ai profité du marché, de l'office de tourisme et de la statue d'Alfred de Vigny.
