Église Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Romain de Savennières

The building features a western facade built with metamorphic stone blocks and displays a distinctive herringbone pattern created with brick arrangements.

The church, documented in Saint-Serge Abbey records from 1159, was constructed between the 10th and 12th centuries over an earlier chapel site.

The structure represents a central example of religious architecture in the Anjou region and demonstrates medieval construction methods in the Loire area.

Visitors can examine the interior spaces, locate the vertical sundial on the southern buttress, and study the architectural details throughout.

This building stands as one of the first classified historical monuments in France, included in the initial protection list of 1840.
