Descriptif du site et monument historique
The church of Saint-Symphorien is part of the early Romanesque architecture.
On 22 September 1793, the church was stripped of its bells, sacred vessels, two chalices and a monstrance. The crosses were pulled down. The church was falling into ruin after suffering through the Revolution.
In 1895, the people of Chaingy decided to build a new church (patron saint). Once the war was over, the factory and town councils drew up the current plan for the town, demolishing the Romanesque church and building the town hall, the church (consecrated on 30 June 1897) in the ogival style and the presbytery (now the post office) that we see today.
