À propos du lieu

Église Saint-Hilaire le Grand

26 rue Saint-Hilaire, 86000 Poitiers

Vienne

Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The church of Saint-Hilaire le Grand, built in the 11th century, is a magnificent Romanesque building dedicated to Saint Hilaire, the first certified bishop of Poitiers. It was a collegiate church of great importance because of the presence of its tomb, located in the crypt behind the altar, which was a place of pilgrimage, especially for the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela from the twelfth century.
The nave of the church was destroyed during the Revolution, but was rebuilt in 1875, along with a new façade. Despite this, one can still observe the remains of a painted and sculpted decoration dating from the 11th century, which testify to a great artistic richness. At the time, the church was entirely decorated with Romanesque murals depicting the bishops of Poitiers in the nave, the apocalypse in the choir, and drawings in the chapels of the ambulatory.
