It seems that the son of Geoffroy Fulcrade in 1106, while he transferred the church of the castle to the banks of the Loire (St Aubin), would have founded, not far from there, a second priory to the south on the hillside, under the name of Saint Macé. Little is known about the history of the priory other than the names of some priors.
In St Macé, the monks enjoyed a peaceful place and a wonderful view of the surroundings. There is almost nothing left of the priory. Some ruined walls evoke a cloister. On the other hand, the chapel with its side entrance is a real gem. The porch formed by two arches supported by columns with elaborate capitals impresses the visitor.
Inside, the chapel, which was entirely painted, still preserves these beautiful illustrations of the twelfth century that contribute to the notoriety of the priory. The priory, classified as a historical monument, is now a private property that can be visited during European Heritage Days.
