During the Second world war, between March 1941 and December 1945, Jargeau lodged a camp of internment (with the site of the Closed College Ferbois) which counted to 1700 prisoners, the essence being gypsies or travelling entertainers and prostitutes.

In XIVe century was also rebuilt the Transept and was altered the porch of the turn-porch.
