Saint-Thyrse is located near the hamlet Robion. It was erected within the 11th/12th century - and is very mysterious, as it is not really clear by whom it was built. It may have been the church of a kind of friary. A church "Saint Thyrse" is mentioned in the papers of Cluny in 909, but it is not clear, where this church was. A Maltese cross on the building may connect it to the Knights Templar, but there is no written proof about in their documents.
In the 18th century, it served as a parish church for Robion for a while and later was used as a cemetery chapel. The cemetery still exists around the church.
It was locked due to a "risk of collapse", but by now renovation is underway, though it looks like the tower is moving.
