The church of Saint-Pierre et Saint-Romain in Savennières, which has been a listed building since 1840, is considered the oldest surviving Christian building in Anjou. The first text in which it is mentioned is the cartouche of Ronceray (l040-1050), but there is every reason to believe that there was an older sanctuary before that.

The monks of the Abbey of Saint-Serge d'Angers received a territorial concession in Savennières, on which they built a priory with a chapel dedicated to Saint Romain, probably built in the 18th century.
