Today, only the northern entrance portal and the large terrace staircase of the Château de Conflans remain. The parish church of Saint-Pierre was built between 1857 and 1859 by Claude Naissant as a replacement for the former Saint-Pierre-de-Conflans church. The present-day Chapelle de Conflans was begun in 1843 and probably completed in 1867. The Chapelle de Conflans houses a Cavaillé-Coll organ that has been in operation in Charenton-le-Pont for almost a century. The buildings thus bring together named periods, different sacred spaces and a preserved architectural detail.
