Collegiate Church of Saint-Quintin

The Saint-Quiriace Collegiate Church in Provins is a significant medieval landmark located in the Upper Town. Dedicated to Saint Quiriace, the church blends Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Its history is marked by funding shortages in the Middle Ages, which resulted in an unfinished facade. A 17th-century classical dome was added later, following a fire, adding to the structure's unique character. The church is managed by city authorities and the diocese, located at Pl. Saint-Quiriace, 77160 Provins.

Visitors experience a sense of tranquility and grandeur within the church, characterized by impressive proportions and abundant natural light. The site offers a peaceful contrast to the bustling medieval streets of Provins.
