Culture and History
The Chapelle de Loré, dating from the 14th century, and the remains of its former fortifications were listed as historic monuments on January 15, 2007. The main structure of the Saint Pierre church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries; the current bell tower was added to its western façade in the 18th century.
The stained-glass window depicting a saintly cardinal in window 4 of the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Pitié in Loré probably dates from the early 16th century. Only a few remains of the 14th-century fortified house survive in Loré, distributed across a group of buildings rebuilt over the centuries. Ambroise de Loré accompanied Joan of Arc on the campaigns that led to the coronation of King Charles VII in 1429.
At Camp de Marêtre, the concrete foundations of the domes are still preserved.
