The church was built near the site of the former villa Clippiacum that belonged to King Dagobert I[3] and that was the Meorvingian birthplace of the city.[4] It is located on Rue du Planty, named after the 19th-century mayor of the city who restored the church.[2] The building stands on a small hill on which a few vines are planted.[5]
St. Ouen died on that place in 686. Hilduin reported that a chapel was located there in 832. The chapel was built on the bank of the Seine and kept its relics; thus it became a pilgrimage site.[6] In the 12th century, a Romanesque chapel was built on the same site.[7] The choir and the capitals were sculpted with acanthus leaves between the 1140s and the 1160s. The keystone from the House of Condé was added in the 16th century, while the façade was ended during the reign of Henry IV. The portal was destroyed during the Wars of Religion and re-built in the 17th century.[8]
The 18th-century organ was vandalised in 2006.[9] In 1976, the mayor Paulette Fost [fr] undertook restoration works performed by architects Brasilier, Thyrault and Plankaert.[citation needed]
Former cemeteryedit
The parish cemetery has been located near the church since 1293.[10] On the 1811 cadastral map, the cemetery covered an area of around 700 square meters, north of the church. In 1849, the bones were transferred to a place known as La Maison Blanche, now Place de la Mairie. In 1867, they were transferred to La Motte.[11]
