Église Saint-Clément d'Arpajon, Listed historical monument in Arpajon, France.

The Saint-Clement church features a structure of millstone and sandstone with a Latin cross plan and ribbed vaults resting on square pillars.

The church reconstruction in 1510 was made possible through donations from the Montagu and Graville families following its destruction during the Hundred Years War.

The vault keystones of the building bear the coats of arms of the Montagu and Graville families, showing the role of local lords in its architectural history.

The monument stands near the center of Arpajon, on the left bank of the Rémarde, accessible from the former route of national road 20.

Benjamin Franklin personally installed a lightning rod on the church steeple in 1782, marking a technological advancement for that period.
