Neuchâtel에 있는 이 장엄한 교회는 "Saint-ETIENNE"의 수호 성인에게 헌정되었습니다. 그는 예루살렘 초기 교회의 첫 일곱 부제 중 한 명이며, "신약성서"의 성경 기록에 따르면 초기 기독교의 첫 번째 순교자(피의 증인)입니다. 교회는 12월 26일 두 번째 크리스마스 날에 그의 죽음을 기념합니다. 사도행전에 기록된 바와 같이: 스테파노가 "그는 성령으로 충만하여 하늘을 우러러보며 하나님의 영광과 하나님 우편에 서신 예수님을 보고" (7장 55절)라는 열린 하늘의 환상을 큰 소리로 말했을 때, 사람들은 너무 격분하여 그를 도시 밖으로 끌어내 돌로 쳤습니다.

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.

A building constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was then just a simple chapel built on a temple, which was subsequently remodeled numerous times over the centuries. The choir, narrower and higher than the rest, is believed to have been built on tombs from the old cemetery, from which a 10th-century Merovingian sarcophagus made of Roussard sandstone was extracted and is on display outside the church.

The place that gives its name to the surrounding forest. An abbey founded in 1145 by monks from the Abbey of Citeaux in search of silence and isolation. Now, only a ruined section remains, visible through the foliage from the road. Note that these ruins are located on the grounds of the oldest summer camp still in operation in France.
