A collegiate had been founded here in 1039. A settlement existed probably since Roman times. "Faye" obviously derived from "fagus", the Roman word for "beech".
Within the 12th century the small church of the collegiate, placed on top of a hill, got replaced by the large and prestigious "Saint-Georges", that today serves the small parish of Faye-la-Vineuse. The collegiate suffered during the Wars of Religion, when the church got severely damaged. It got completely renovated end of the 19th century.
Most of the capitals in "Saint-Georges" are carved in a very "soft" Romanesque style, that sometime seems to be Baroque. Here is a different, more minialistic style, created by a different workshop. Two bearded devils.
