About Orléans Church of Saint-Pierre-le-Puellier
The oldest surviving church in Orléans, built in the 12th century in Romanesque style with later Gothic additions to the choir. Deconsecrated in 1958, the building now serves as a free municipal contemporary art exhibition space managed by the City of Orléans, hosting 4 to 5 rotating exhibitions per year. The five-bay nave with two side aisles preserves original Romanesque elements, while the 13th-century choir features elegant rib vaults and carved oak-leaf capitals.
