 The Saint-Liphard Collegiate Church is largely from the 13th century, with a 12th century bell tower. Built in a Romanesque architectural style, and restored many times over the centuries, is contiguous to an old fortified tower now in ruins, known as the Manasses tower in Garlande.
It replaces a church or a Romanesque chapel. It was dedicated to Saint-Liphard, who was a cousin of Clovis.
It would have some points in common with the Cathedral of Noyon in Picardie. It is 56 m long including 18 for the choir and the sanctuary. The large nave is 12 m wide, 5.2 m for the north nave and 4.5 m for the south nave, transept width 32 m and 16 m height.
Note its octagonal stone spire, confined by four pyramids, lit four fenestrals gable, very common twelfth century.

 La Collégiale Saint-Liphard est en grande partie du XIIIème siècle, avec une tour clocher du XII ème siècle. Edifiée dans un style architectural roman, et restaurée à de nombreuses reprises au cours des siècles, est accolée à une ancienne tour fortifiée aujourd'hui en ruine, dite la tour Manassès de Garlande.
Elle remplace une église ou une chapelle romane. Elle fût dédiée à Saint-Liphard, qui fût un cousin de Clovis.
Elle aurait quelques points communs avec la Cathédrale de Noyon en Picardie. Elle fait 56 m de long dont 18 pour le choeur et le sanctuaire. La grande nef fait 12 m de large, 5.2 m pour la nef nord et 4.5 m pour la nef sud, largeur du transept 32 m et 16 m de hauteur.
On remarque sa flèche octogonale en pierre, cantonnée de quatre pyramidaux, eclairée de quatre fenestraux au gâble, très courant XII ème siècle.
