Church of Chassenay is a parish church of Saint Germain, it was built in the Romanesque period of the 12th century, it was largely rebuilt in the 16th century, as certain construction details of the eastern part of the building suggest. , which were taken up when the nave was built.

On a funeral liter an escutcheon bears a chevron and a leader charged with three stars of Favre de Dardagny, a former infantry captain in the Querci regiment.

The church is rectangular in plan, its bell tower porch is square, it is pierced on its four sides with triple bays, its roof as well as that of the church are covered with small flat terracotta tiles from the region.

Its tympanum is remarkable, it represents Saint Luke, who is lying down looking at a tablet on which it is inscribed: “Visim est et mihi..” a quote taken from the gospel of Saint Luke.

Georges Théodore Renaud was born in 1875 in Nièvre. Student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1897 to 1903.

He worked in Paris, where he married in 1904, then he settled in Nevers. He built churches, presbyteries, castles, buildings, villas and war memorials.

Luke the Evangelist or Saint Luke is a character about whom little is known, but who wrote part of the New Testament.

Christian tradition considers him to be the author of the gospel that bears his name, as well as the Acts of the Apostles.

In Nièvre, his best-known work is the Notre-Dame-de-Bethléem church in Clamecy, consecrated in 1927.

He also carried out work in the churches of Brinon-sur-Beuvron, Moraches, Neuvy-sur-Loire, Saint Germain Chassenay, Saint-Honoré-les-Bains and Saint-Ouen-sur-Loire
