Meung-sur-Loire - Saint-Liphard

This church, dedicated to Saint-Liphard, once was a collegiate church. It is located next to the former country residence of the Bishops of Orléans.

A chapel was erected over the grave of the Saint Liphard, a cousin of Clovis, who had lived here a hermit´s life. Later this became part of a monastery and from 1068 on it was a Collegiate Chapter, depending it directly upon the neighbouring Bishop of Orleans.
