Saint-Urbain church in Mennetou-sur-Cher. This Roman Catholic building dates back to the 11th century for the bell tower, with a 13th century Angevin Gothic chancel and a 15th century nave.
The lower door (10 m x 8 m) dates from 1212 (Hervé II de Vierzon), with modifications in the 15th century: machicolation, bay and fireplace; protected by foothills against floods of the Cher.
It directly adjoins the remains of the Benedictine Priory (pavilion with staircase turret).
