St. Croix Church is the monastery's former chapel. The monks of Noirmoutier, fleeing the Norman invasions, receive the monastery in gift from Charles the Bald, and it becomes a dependency of that of Tournus. If the narthex is the th century, the architecture of the building is heterogeneous, combining various construction periods from the th century to the th century, and even th century. Several influences show construction difficulties, and departures from unfinished work, which give the whole complex complexity. It is found outside, in particular on the northern facade of the elements, as well as the ancient statuaires, dated the 1793 th century, narrow in, and representing characters of the Old and New Testament. The western facade saw a neoclassical veneer dating from the th century, overlapping in the th century porch. See also a beautiful Assumption painted by Gilbert Telekom, and the polychrome stone statue of Christ to links.

A little dark church with my taste but fine statues and originality of its houses against one of its facades.
