The Collegiate Church of Saint-Quiriace, a majestic church of contrasting destinies, witness to a rich past.

The Collégiale Saint-Quiriace, a huge 12thᵉ century church, was built at the request of Henri I of Champagne (1152-1181) and dedicated to Quiriace of Jerusalem, a4th-century saint whose relics were said to have been brought back in the 13th century. A century later, its construction remained unfinished due to the kingdom's financial difficulties. The octagonal vaulting of the choir is a striking feature of the church, visible from afar in the surrounding countryside. A must-see!

Surprenante
Cette église est surprenante, de par son architecture, mais aussi de par son aménagement. On sent les remaniements dus à l'histoire de Provins. A voir.

souvenirs médiévaux
retrouvons la trace de Jeanne la pucelle qui est passée dans cette collégiale .
au pied de celle ci se trouve le lycée Thibault de Champagne .

Mérite à peine le détour
La Collégiale Saint-Quiriace est située sur les hauteurs de Provins, qu'elle domine. Elle est localisée à proximité de la Tour César. Son extérieur est bien fait, mais est plutôt sobre et n'a rien d'exceptionnel, tout comme l'intérieur.

Construite sur une petite place, cette église se caractérise par sa sobriété extérieure. À l’intérieur, les vitraux – traversés par la lumière – sont impressionnants de beauté. En haut de la tour César située à proximité, la vue d’ensemble sur la collégiale est vraiment magnifique et permet de réaliser de superbes photos !

Une très belle collégiale
Dommage que l'entretien extérieur commence a dater (normal de voir des arbres sur la toiture ?)
