The Saint-Rémy church is one of these churches surrounded by their cemetery and a surrounding wall forming a parish enclosure. In the cemetery, a cut boxwood path leads to the entrance to the church which is via a bell tower-porch. The latter, square and low, is topped with a spire covered in slate, like the rest of the church. The sacristy, at the rear of the apse, is covered in tiles. The church consists of a single nave onto which two small chapels open, dedicated respectively to the Sacred Heart and the Virgin.

Unpretentious from the outside, the Saint-Rémy church is however not without surprises. The choir, slightly narrower than the nave, is decorated with monumental paintings evoking the Passion of Christ (19th century). The choir vault is also painted. The altarpiece, with black marble columns, has in its center a beautiful high-relief panel representing the Baptism of Christ (limestone, early 18th century). The altars (Main altar and altars in the side chapels) are in pink and black marble (18th century). A choir enclosure, decorated with two angels, separates the choir from the nave (19th century). Two beautiful wooden confessionals with carved pediments (17th century), set into the wall, frame the entrance to the interior of the nave.

At the entrance to the bell tower-porch, you can admire the coat of arms of François Bohier, dated 1553. He was the dean of the chapter of Tours on which the cure of Sérigny then depended. These stones were found in 1972, in the gable of the church, during the renovation of the sacristy.
The four historic stained glass windows are from the 20th century (one is dated 1939) and obviously come from the same workshop but are not signed.
