Origin and history

The church Saint-Georges de Villegenon, located in the Cher department, presents a typical rectangular plan, with a unique nave without transept, covered with a plastered cradle. A Gothic window pierces the nave, while the choir and flat bedside complete the ensemble. The nave, flanked by two collaterals, reveals contrasting elements: the southern collateral, ancient, is connected to the nave by two broken arcades separated by a cylindrical column of flamboyant style, while the northern collateral, more modern, has recent dogid vaults. Three bells, one blessed in 1782 according to the communal archives, made a rhythm of the life of the building.

The interior structure of the church consists of a nave of four spans with low sides, finished with a square bedside. The nave is capped with a broken arch arch arch coated with plaster, leaving visible the clogged entrapments and ground punches of the frame. The lower side, arched on a dogive cross, rests on cloves adorned with foliage and robust cylindrical pillars, crowned with carved cutlery. Although the Gothic origin was suggested, the building underwent major alterations in the 19th century, partially altering its original appearance.

By order of 22 March 1930, the church belongs to the municipality of Villegenon. Its address, 1 Rue du Lavoir, and its Insee code (18284) place it precisely in the department of Cher, in the region Centre-Val de Loire. The location, noted as "passible" (level 5/10), reflects an average geographical accuracy, while its communal ownership status makes it a potentially publicly accessible place, although the practical information on visits or services is not detailed in the available sources.
