Ruins of the Church of Saint-Colomban

2 reviews of Ruins of the Church of Saint-Colomban

Studies have thought there was a monastery of Celtic-Irish origin

Studies have thought there was a monastery of Celtic-Irish origin here that was destroyed by the Vikings in 878. There are historians who argue that was rebuilt around the eleventh century due to the Romanesque architecture that you can see today. Around the thirteenth century they built a Gothic church and it was rebuilt in the fifteenth century. From then until its collapse it was called the church of the rich in the lower town. Currently the site is used for parking and is built on the back of a cinema.
