Listed building with a remarkable stained glass window depicting The Miracle of the Oats

This building, listed as a Monument Historique since 1921, was founded under the reign of Philippe-Auguste in 1214. It is a fine example of a blend of styles. A remarkable stained glass window depicts the Miracle of the Oats. Urbain Grandier, a priest accused of witchcraft, officiated here. He was burned in the public square in 1634. The recently renovated Renaissance portal invites you to discover the interior. The church was pillaged by the Huguenots during the Wars of Religion.

Eglise Saint-Pierre-Du-Marché 86200 Loudun
L’Église Saint-Pierre du Marché est une très belle église de ville, au portail joliment ouvragé et bien restauré. L’intérieur est clair et agréable. J’ai pu y admirer, outre le magnifique vitrail « le Miracle des Avoines » d’autres vitraux également beaux ainsi que deux peintures. Les Stations du Christ sont extrêmement belles, les personnages sont sculptés et donnent du corps et du relief à la scène la rendant « vivante ». Émouvante également sont les statues funéraires partiellement détruites dont celle du chevalier de Tursay. A noter qu’en juin chaque année, les amis de Saint-Alleaume ses rassemblent à Loudun pour célébrer le culte voué à ce Saint. Cette église vaut largement la visite.
