Saint-Aignan Church of Veaugues

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Aignan church in Veaugues is a Catholic church located in the Cher department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. It is dedicated to Saint Aignan, bishop of Orléans in the 5th century.

The current church was built in the 19th century, on the ruins of an old 12th century church. It was designed by the architect Leclère, in a neo-Gothic style.

The Saint-Aignan church is a masterpiece of neo-Gothic architecture. It is built in cut stone, and has an imposing façade with two twin towers. The interior of the church is also remarkable, with its Gothic vaults, stained glass windows and sculptures.

The Saint-Aignan church is unique in its kind by the presence of a tribune organ from 1889, built by the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll factory. This organ is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe
