ヌーシャテルにあるこの壮麗な教会は、「聖エティエンヌ」に捧げられました。彼はエルサレムの初期教会の最初の7人の執事の一人であり、「新約聖書」の聖書によると、初期キリスト教の最初の殉教者（血の証人）でもあります。教会は彼の死を12月26日のクリスマスの2日目に記念します。 使徒言行録が伝えるように、ステファノが「しかし、聖霊に満たされて、天を見上げ、神の栄光と、神の右に立っておられるイエスとを見た」（第7章55節）と、開かれた天の幻を大声で表明したとき、人々は非常に憤慨し、彼を町から追い出して石打ちにしたのです。

11th Century Church Worship was abolished in the parish of Chevain. The church was sold for 31,700 livres to the citizen of Villeray on 6 Vendémiaire, Year VII (September 27, 1799). The Chevain church, having been donated by Madame du Hameau de Villeray to the commune by notarial deed dated April 16, 1827, was restored to worship there on January 15, 1827. The parish was established as a branch parish.

Built at the end of the 12th century, the church belonged to the former diocese of Saintes. It has been restored several times, notably in the 15th century. Rectangular building with a straight chevet. A single nave with a ribbed vault. Sculpted column capitals. In the transept, a dome on pendentives. Chancel with a ribbed vault and a large 13th-century chevet window. On the north side of the chancel, a large pointed arch gives access to a ribbed vaulted chapel. The western façade dates from the 13th century, with a pointed arch portal with three arches on round columns. Two chamfered pilasters separate the portal from the blind doors and rise to the top of the façade. Above this ground floor and set back are three pointed arch arcades with sculpted figures (seated Virgin, shepherds guided by an angel, three wise men). On each side, twin arcades with pointed arches with heads, fantastic animals, diamond points and crockets. On the transept rises a square bell tower.

The church is composed of a bell tower grafted onto the side, the ground floor of which is vaulted with ribs, three of the bases supporting the fall of the arches having no decoration, the fourth being sculpted with a small fox's head. The stained glass windows are from 1866 and 1934-1942, five presenting an element of the heritage of the commune associated with a scene from the life of a Saint venerated in the parish, such as Saint Mathurin. The old presbytery from 1704 with openings with debarked lintels is attached to the church.

Saint-Pierre Church, from the mid-19th century (from 1856 or 1858).

The Chapitrel is the name given to the entrance gate. The period door is in the Renaissance style. This construction had several functions: It was reserved for catechumens who were not allowed to enter the church and served as a warehouse for farmers who sold at the market on Sunday mornings. The saddleback tower dates from 1545. It is 28 m high. It is square and has four levels. Each floor is separated by an external Roussard belt called a "larmier" which overhangs quite widely, preventing water from running off. At the top of the roof are two granite crosses, each topped with a copper weather vane representing a crowned dragon's head.

In the 13th century, a first church was built in the current Old Town, it was consecrated by Bishop Jean de Chanlay. The parish lordship, attached to the land and castle of Maleffre, belonged to the Paulmier du Bouillon house. Maleffre was a fortified castle, surrounded by moats. The parish owned several other fiefs such as Chevalerie and Bois Margot. The territory of Arçonnay extended to the river which constituted the boundary between the departments. The construction, by Abbot Drouin, of the current church in the hamlet of Saint-Blaise, was completed in 1848.
