The Savoisy church was rebuilt in 1442 by Nicolas Rolin, Chancellor of Philippe le Bon, at the same time as the castle.

The nave and the bell tower having been burnt down in 1752, only the two spans of the choir, arched in warheads, and lit by flamboyant windows, remain from the original construction.

The bell tower, the nave and the two small side chapels were built at the end of the 18th century, on a plan by the architect Pierre Jean Guillemot, in a sober style, with semicircular vaults.

The church retains several decorative elements bearing the arms of the Rolins and dating from the time of construction:

At the keystone, Nicolas Rolin's arms are sculpted: 3 keys.

These same weapons are reproduced on two very damaged paintings on the corner walls behind the altar

On the walls, a dozen 15th century paintings, representing Apostles and Evangelists, found under whitewashes. Names are difficult to read
