The Church of St. Peter (fr|église Saint-Pierre) is a Roman Catholic church in Chennevières-sur-Marne, Val-de-Marne, France. It is partly listed as a Class Historic Monument.
The church belonged to the Abbey of Hiverneau de Lésigny, Essonne. It was mentioned for the first time in 1205.[1]
It was built in the 13th century and used as a priory church in the 14th century. Pits from the construction works were discovered by archaeological excavations near the apse in 2012–3.[2]
A part of the church was listed as a Class Historic Monument in 1920.
The church was built in the Champenois style. It has a nave without transept, and a semi-circular choir with 3 apses. The archaeological works revealed shallow foundations and the presence of tombs on three levels from 14th century to the early 19th century.
