Saint-Romain, the parish church of Saint-Sauvant, was erected within the 13th century as a part of a small priory dependent on the abbey in nearby Celles-sur-Belle. The church got enlarged in the 15th century. The place may have had some importance during the 5th century, as a couple of merovingian sarcophagi are near the church. So this may have been a merovingian nekropole.
