Collegiate Church of Saint-Pierre d'Évaux

The community of canons is known from the year 936, when its provost, Widradus, is mentioned in a donation to the canonry. There is very little information about the house, apart from a few references to the involvement of its priors in various events. In 1158, Évaux was the subject of a papal bull issued by Pope Adrian IV. In 1264, it became linked to the canonry of Saint-Amable in Riom (Puy-de-Dôme). In 1300, the relics of Saint Marien were placed in a silver reliquary, preceding the current one from the 17th century.

The notable church of Saint-Pierre still stands, a Romanesque construction with earlier origins. It has undergone significant modifications due to various restorations and reconstructions. The most remarkable element is the porch-tower preceding the western façade, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, with additions from the 17th century. The church was damaged by a fire in 1942, which destroyed a remarkable carved wooden interior (boiserie), but has since been restored. The 17th-century reliquary of Saint Marien was saved from the fire and is still preserved.
