A small chapel existed here, before Antonio Faccio, jurist, banker and owner of the estate around, commissioned architect Bernardo Antonio Vittone with the construction of this church in 1738.

The "Duomo di Carignano" (aka "Duomo Santi Giovanni Battista e Remigio") was erected 1757 - 1767 after the preceding Gothic church on the same spot had been demolished. The Baroque church was designed by Benedetto Alfieri and has a unique layout. The structure is a kind of "part-rotunda", as the layout is based on a segment of a circle.
