Gregorian singing concert on Saturday at 3 pm
Walk-in
The church owes its name to the powerful abbey of Saint-Aubin d'Angers which owned the lands of Clémentiniacus. Its construction was begun in 1106 by the son of Geoffroy Fulcrade, who besides St Aubin would have founded the priory of St Macé, further south. On this occasion, the church leaves the enclosure of the fortress to serve the village of Trier, near the market and the port.
Its current appearance corresponds to different construction campaigns: The nave and the transept are from the XII th century, the bell tower of the XIIIth century. The side walls were reinforced in the 15th century. The tufa stone spire dates from the same period.
In the middle of the 19th century, it was restored by Monsignor Maupoint, from Chênehutte. The stripped interior, but often bathed in a beautiful light that enhances the tufa construction, impresses the visitor. Likewise the beam of glory that overlooks the transept. The porphyry stoup, the tabernacle or reliquary, the laying of Robert the Mason, chancellor of France, protector of Joan of Arc and adviser of Charles VII, are of great interest.
In summer, the church, which is always open to worship, hosts concerts (Musical Hours of Cunault) or exhibitions.
Saint-Aubin was declared a historic monument in 1914.
