With the XV° century, a church is built: " it is arched out of stone with ogival veins ; one notices there in particular beautiful woodworks, Style Louis XV, and some large tumulary flagstones. The bell-tower is a high square tower with broad buttresses. At the base of the one of those, one sees a small niche decorated with an escutcheon to the weapons of France"

One summoned this borough to provide ammunition; but those of inside made fun openly of the Holy-Union, which made conclude to fire the guns that one had brought of Girolles. One saw soon brêches; and as Avallon had provided scales in addition to the vivres necessary to the army, Annay was taken all, plundered and was put at once at fire and blood. The sior of Jaulges had all the glory of this expédition." ( Courtépée ).
