The church was built specifically because Irish Archbishop Saint Laurent O'Toole died unexpectedly in Eu on November 14, 1180, during a diplomatic mission. His death sparked an immediate devotional cult, leading to his canonization in 1248. The entire collegiate church (built 1186-1240) was constructed primarily to house his tomb and accommodate the pilgrims who flocked to venerate him.
