The Saint-Mammes Church in Pourrain was built under Narjot II Compte de Toucy, Lord of Perreuse between 1150 and 1190.
From this period only the choir and the walls remain since it was partly destroyed during the wars of religion in 1587.
The three naves are in Gothic style (late 16th and 17th centuries).
The thirteen windows, all Romanesque, light the building.
Mademoiselle de Montpensier gave 50 crowns in 1667 to finish repairing it.
The porch bell tower is from 1880, it replaces the old bell tower which was on the choir and which was burned and partly destroyed by lightning on June 29, 1873.

Perreuse derived its wealth from the vineyards planted on its hillsides, probably during the Roman Empire. The monks continued the cultivation of vines after the departure of the Romans.
In 1208 the bishop of Auxerre Guillaume de Seignelay gave the temporal order of the Saint-Mammert church to the Saint-Amâtre abbey of Auxerre.

A painting on cut stone dated from the 17th century is signed GAUCHER JEAN.
It was discovered in August 1997, hidden behind the resurrection painting which had been removed for restoration.
