Undergoing alternately the exactions brought by the long-distance lorry drivers of the war of Hundred Years, and at the end of the XVI-th century by the Protestants, the religious sanctuary will not escape the confusions brought by the French revolution, where it will be sold.
During this period, two fireproof priests will be protected to Chastanier, among whom the one, the Abbot Guillaume Seguin, will be tortured and buried in July, 1795, under the paving stones of the hall of the church, according to his wills.
However, with the rehabilitation of the religion in the XIX-th century, the church and the presbytery will be again opened and maintained.
