The cult of the Black Virgin dates back to the 6th century when a Syrian colony was established in this town then called Avenum. The primitive church (1170-1180) houses the miraculous statue of St Pol. Joan of Arc prayed before Our Lady of Miracles. It was during the wars of religion that the statue was burned while the church was ruined (1562). A new statue was inaugurated at the end of the 16th century, the same one that is contemplated. After the Revolution, the building was restored. The church burned down in 1940 but nothing in the chapel was affected by the fire. A new building was built and inaugurated in 1966.

There were two churches in Sandillon from the Middle Ages, one dedicated to Saint Aignan and the other to Saint Patrice, which was rather the parish of the écarts and the beautiful surrounding residences. Each of them was surrounded by a cemetery. The Saint-Patrice church was deconsecrated during the Revolution, then destroyed, a plaque located on rue St Patrice still indicates its location. Only the Saint-Aignan church remained standing, much smaller. During the first half of the 19th century, the building, which was deteriorating due to lack of repairs, was no longer sufficient to accommodate the faithful. Initially oriented towards the east, in the direction of the rising sun, like many churches it was oriented towards the north when it was rebuilt in 1860-1861.
