About
The church of Saint-Benoit dates back to the 11th century and the origin of the village's name.
Until the 11th century, it was called Thurcy, but the bishop of Troyes gave it to the abbey of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire. The village was renowned for its Romanesque church, dedicated to Saint-Benoit.
Today, the nave and portal are Romanesque, while the apse and transept date from the 16th century. Some of the church's furnishings are listed as historic monuments, including a 16th-century limestone statue of Saint Benoit, a 17th-century oak sculpture of Saint Anne, and the 17th-century painted and gilded oak tabernacle and altarpiece.
