The Sainte-Reine chapel seems to have been started with the apse towards the end of the 15th century. and built in several stages until the beginning of the 17th century. On either side of the entrance arch to the apse and on the south wall of the nave, commemorative plaques recall the role of the d'Avigneau family, notably Maurice Marie d'Avigneau who restored the chapel and returned it to worship in 1952.

One tends to underestimate the town of Pourrain when driving from Toucy to Auxerre on the D965. This road only affects the town and does not give a favorable image of this beautiful town. The climb to the church, the church itself and the square in front of the church form a very beautiful ensemble. The village is located on a hill that dominates 3 surrounding valleys. Saint Serge Church is a very large church with a unique tower. The main tower with a large bell house and beautiful church clock is in the shape of a richly decorated keep. On the west side there is a slender tower that towers over the main tower and is equipped with shooting stocks.
