Blois - Saint Nicholas


Benedictine monks, escaping the Norman raids in the Normandie, settled here in 924 and founded the monastery. The large church was erected within the 12th and 13th century. As the monks had brought the valuable relics of Saint Laumer, Saint Lubin, Saint Mary of Egypt and a fragment of the True Cross this was a place of medieval pilgrimage.
The church was dedicated to Saint Laumer, the convent existed up to the French Revolution. Since then it serves the parish, dedicated now to Saint Nicholas, remembering a nearby church, that got demolished after the Revolution.
There are some renovation works under way in the vaultings of the nave. A large net protects the parishioners from falling debris.
