Truyes was the seat of a priory which belonged to the neighboring abbey of Cormery. The church has a nave and a choir from the 12th century, the broken arch entrance door is from the 15th century, a chapel vaulted with ogives perpendicular to the 16th century choir. The bell tower is a large square tower of five storeys of windows, crowned with an octagonal arrow marked with four corner windows.

[F] Ces fonts baptismaux en marbre sont situés à gauche à l'entrée de l'église.
