The Laverdines Church having been destroyed, the village no longer had a parish.
During the invasion of Prussia in 1870, Claude Gindre, then owner of the castle of Laverdines, promised to build a chapel if Prussia did not cross the Loire.
The promise was kept with the construction from 1873 to 1875 of this chapel, ceded to the state for a symbolic Franc in 1983. It is well maintained, and is located right next to the Castle of the same name, which cannot be visited.
