The Roman Catholic parish church of Saint-Georges in Chavanges, a commune in the Aube department in the Grand Est region of France, dates back to the 12th century. In the 15th and 16th centuries the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style.

The Romanesque west portal of the 12th century church has been preserved. The arched portal is framed by simple archivolts that rest on slender columns decorated with capitals. Stylized leaves, birds and a kneeling person are depicted on the capitals.

The nave has three aisles and is divided into three bays. Adjacent to the nave is a two-aisled transept, which opens onto a wide choir. This has three apses with a polygonal end.

The grisaille window with scenes of the Apocalypse was installed in 1540. The motifs are largely borrowed from Albrecht Dürer's woodcuts of the Apocalypse, which he published in 1498 in his “Big Book” with the title The Secret Revelation of Iohannis.
