"The oldest parts of the current church do not go back beyond the 12th century and relate to the chevet. Successively, the 13th, 15th and 16th centuries brought alterations as evidenced by the bell tower, the nave or the small Renaissance chapel attached to the south side.

Abandoned for worship from the Revolution, this former parish church subsequently had various functions, it was even planned for a time to transform it into a primary school.

Its acquisition by the City of Poitiers in 1990 gave it a new identity: restored, integrated into a global urban project (development of a square by the visual artist Narboni) which connects it to the Regional Conservatory, it has been transformed into an auditorium."

" Les parties les plus anciennes de l’église actuelle ne remontent pas au-delà du XIIe siècle et concernent le chevet. Successivement, les XIIIe, XVe et XVIe siècles ont apporté des remaniements dont témoignent le clocher, la nef ou la petite chapelle Renaissance accolée au côté sud.

Désaffectée au culte à partir de la Révolution, cette ancienne église paroissiale a connu par la suite diverses fonctions, il a même été projeté un temps de la transformer en école primaire.

Son rachat par la Ville de Poitiers en 1990 lui a délivré une nouvelle identité : restaurée, intégrée dans un projet urbain global (aménagement d’une place par le plasticien Narboni) qui la relie au Conservatoire de Région, elle a été transformée en auditorium. "
