The Saint-Pierre church was built in the rue des Ardilliers in the 17th century. Initially a chapel reserved for the Jesuit College, this building became a parish church in 1773 under the name of Saint-Père; it replaced the former Nervers place of worship of the same name, installed in Place Guy Coquille and collapsed in 1771. It then became, under a more modern name, the church of Saint-Pierre. In 1944, the blast of bombs caused a lot of damage to the monument: detachment and fall of pieces of plaster, cracks, blowing of the stained glass windows; part of the roof was torn off and exposed the paintings to a prolonged erosion. The church was restored in the second half of the 20th century
The church is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9.00am to 5.00pm in winter and from 9.00am to 6.30pm in summer.
