Founded in 929 by the counts of Anjou, the priory of Saint Rémy was one of the richest profits of Anjou in the Middle Ages, before becoming a seigneury in the sixteenth century. Today the priory is distinguished by the presence of a monumental polychrome fireplace with sculpted motifs of the sixteenth century, as well as by a superb fresco of the end of the twelfth century, one of the oldest in Anjou.
