Tradition says that Quintí was the son of a Roman senator. The church of Rome sent him to evangelize the Amiens area, but during the trip Quintí was beheaded. His head was thrown into the River Somme along with his body, with a stone tied to his feet.

Although nothing remains of the original Romanesque building, in the current building we find signs of some ancient temple.
