The stronghold was successively called Saviniacus (12th century, charter of Fontevraud), Parochia de Savigné (13th century, charter of the archbishopric), Savigny (13th century, map of Cassini) and finally Savigny en Véron in 1955 .
On the site of the current church stood a chapel built by the monks of the Abbey of Fontevraud in the 12th century, known as the Chapel of the Angels, which was not erected into a parish church until the 13th century. This posed security problems, it was banned from worship in 1844. In 1845, due to a lack of solidity and grandeur of the old church, the town of Savigny voted for the construction of a new building.
The design of the work was entrusted to Gustave Guérin, an architect who had a profound impact on the landscape and religious art of Indre-et-Loire. He built 10 chapels, 16 convents and 25 churches, that of Savigny featured in one of his first projects.
Construction took place on the site of the old church. Gustave Guérin opts for the 13th century style in its simplest application. The church opened in November 1848. 10 years later, the town hall building (which is still the same today), as well as that of a school, were built in the old rectory.
In 1896, new brick vaults were built with interior columns to serve as support. A window is also created in the middle of the apse. The side walls of the church were started in 1927 after restoration work on the stained glass windows.
In 2015, a subscription was launched by the town hall for the restoration of the entire bell tower (spire and shaft), as well as the masonry of the west facade and the north and south spans in return. The interventions also include the restoration of the belfry and the two bells, as well as the creation of a disabled access ramp.
