Collégiale Saint-Denis is an old church, built between approximately 1180 and 1200. The church gradually fell into disrepair over time and various conflicts, especially in the 14th and 16th centuries. The canons did not have enough income to restore the church. The parish of the collegiate church was dissolved in 1806, abandoned, and then used as a quarry for the inhabitants.
To prevent its complete destruction, the city of Doué-la-Fontaine bought the dilapidated building, which is why it was classified as a historical monument in 1862
