Romans had been here during Hadrian´s time and where they had erected a temple, a small church got built mid 10th century. This structure got rebuilt and enlarged already within the 11th/12th century. Looted and damaged a century later, it got rebuilt, altered, enlarged, extended and strongly fortified. Within the structure, some parts of the 12th century structure survived the times.
One of these is the apse. There are four capitals round the apse, three of them depict scenes around protomartyr Saint Stephen (Saint-Étienne), to whom the church is dedicated.
After the relics of Saint-Stephen had been discovered in 415, the relics were placed in a shrine and then carried in a procession ("translatio") to Jerusalem. Another later translatio brought relics to Rome ("San Lorenzo fuori le mura"), but meanwhile relics are as well in Bourges, Sens, Metz, Passau, Halberstadt, Chalons sur Marne and maybe Lubersac.
