In Romilly-sur-Aigre I thought for the first time that I was going to a castle. So I felt the stem. Then I was safe in the church. Everything was like a harvest thanksgiving. Very inviting.

At the end of the 15th century, a first construction project made it possible to rebuild this church dedicated to Saint Peter. The current building consists of a nave, a choir bay and a three-sided apse. The bell tower was probably built at the beginning of the 20th century.
The peculiarity of this building lies above all in the facade framed by two corner towers from the 18th century.
Inside the porch, on the ground floor, you can still admire the old 16th-century gabled gate and two large western Gothic bay windows.

This church in Romilly-sur-Aigre was dedicated to Saint Peter (Saint Pierre). Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee when he - together with his brother Andrew - was called by Jesus Christ to be "fishers of men". According to Catholic understanding, he is the supreme apostle, and the two millennia-long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successor. On statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the biblical saying in Matthew: “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Chapter 16, verse 19).
Peter and Paul are also known as the “Princes of the Apostles”; their common feast day in the saints' calendar is June 29th.
