The unfinished church built after the other church near the Châtel in the 13th century. From the town website: In the 13th century, the inhabitants of Yèvre-le-Châtel obtained permission from the Bishop of Orléans to build a parish church in the cemetery. However, following the intervention of the monks of Saint-Benoit-sur-Loire, the bishop reversed his decision and work was interrupted. Work resumed after the Hundred Years' War, but the church was never completed. Furthermore, in 1708, the bishop authorized the sale of stones and materials that had fallen onto the ground, resulting in Saint-Lubin being both unfinished and in ruins. The building, with a single nave and two bays, is perfectly homogeneous. The structure, in the shape of a Latin cross, ends with a flat chevet, characteristic of the 13th century. The romantic remains of this church were admired by Victor Hugo in the 19th century.

The general appearance of the buildings as we see them today comes from this period. But, falling into ruins at several times in history, the castle has lived, evolved and metamorphosed many times.
