Installed on the city's defenses next to the South Poterne which is an open passage in the ramparts leading to the Charcoal Valley, the Saint-Thugal church is undoubtedly its oldest monument.Originally this building was built by the monks of Saint-Severin in recognition of the protection granted to them by the city during the siege of the Saxons in 774. Dedicated to Saint-Etienne, this church awarded Saint-Thugal in the 10th century as patron for having collected the relics saved by the monks of Treguier fleeing the Norman invaders. There remains only a 6-storey tower supported by buttresses at the level of the southern apse which has now disappeared with its collateral nave of which only the capitals still present in the houses remain. In 1926, the Saint-Thugal Tower was listed as a historic monument
Here is a facade of a monastery of women which enjoyed a great reputation and which had the privilege of receiving the queens of France.You will discover it during your hike "Circuit d'Emeraude" or if you prefer cycling with the medieval loop of the EV3. Located opposite this facade, the pretty Ponfrault bridge probably dating from the 11th century. The little story! In the 11th century Thomas Becket stayed in Pontfrault and consecrated the church, undoubtedly newly rebuilt. It was in the 12th century that it turned into a leper colony. From the diagnosis of the disease then begins for the leper, obedience to the rules that will govern each moment of his sometimes long life, the only way out will be the small adjoining cemetery.
