Église Saint-Étienne de Chinon, 15th century Catholic church in medieval Chinon, France.

Saint-Étienne Church features a single-vessel structure with seven bays, a pentagonal apse, and a bell tower on the northern side.

The current building was completed in 1477 during Charles VII's reign, preserving only the base of the bell tower from the original Romanesque church.

The church windows were manufactured in the 19th century by the Lucien-Léopold Lobin workshop, displaying detailed religious scenes.

The building stands along Jean-Jacques-Rousseau Street, on the right bank of the Vienne River, near the historical center of Chinon.

A fresco recovered from Saint-Mexme collegiate church and a statue of Joan of Arc by François Sicard are displayed in the church nave.
