Eglise Saint-Pierre-du-Martroi

On its present site, there has been a church dedicated to Saint Lée since at least the 10th century: in 930, it was given by Hugues le Grand to the bishop of Dol who had taken refuge in Orléans. In 1151, Sainte-Lée was returned to the chapter of the Sainte-Croix cathedral and took the name of Saint-Pierre-et-Sainte-Lée, which was soon changed to Saint-Pierre-Ensentelée, a name that lasted until the end of the 19th century. Located outside the city walls, it was preventively destroyed in 1364 and 1428 during the Hundred Years War. A cemetery was then established on its ruins. Its reconstruction began in 1501 but it was burnt down in 1567 during the Wars of Religion. It was not until the end of the 16th century that it was restored.
