The church of Chaudenay was a branch of that of Corgirnon from around 1314, when it was united with the latter by Bishop Guillaume de Durfort. Before that time, it was a curial parish, but this title is still attributed to it in a pouillé of 1492. The former church had a 13th century chapel belonging to the Lords of Chaudenay, where the two tombstones preserved in the present church could be seen. Saint-André church was rebuilt in 1853 to plans drawn up by architect Paul Péchiné on 1 December 1851 and 10 February 1852, and consecrated in 1854. It wasn't until a second project on 9 October 1856 by the same architect that the tower-porch was erected between 1860 and 1862. The church has an elongated plan, with a three-vessel nave of five bays, preceded by a bell tower-porch crowned by a polygonal slate spire and flanked by two chapels. The choir consists of a straight bay, flanked by two chapels, and a three-sided apse, all covered by a six-quarter rib vault. The sacristy is to the south of the choir. The walls are of rubble stone, with ashlar buttresses and bays.
