Priory-rectory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Satur. The church was rebuilt from the end of the 15th century, starting with the tower forming a bell tower-porch, which can be attributed to a certain Hélias Ruellé, while the coat of arms appearing on the keystones of the nave vault indicate the participation of Guillaume de Ménipeny, abbot of Saint-Satur attested until 1527. The date of 1533 is shown on a keystone. The renovation of the church was probably completed around 1535. The first church was built in the 13th century, of which some remains and perhaps the bell tower-porch remain. The current construction dates mainly from the 16th century and represents one of the rare Renaissance religious buildings in this department. The renovation of the choir and the chevet (capitals) and the construction of the sacristy date from the 19th century. Keystone dated 1533 with the Rochechouart coat of arms.

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
