Selles-Saint-Denis, Joint Township Salbris and the community of communes of the Sologne Rivers, is located south of the department of Loir-et-Cher and Sologne. It is located near the gates of the river Cher and Indre Berry. The village has 1,300 inhabitants.

The territory of the municipality with an area of 5098 hectares, is crossed from east to west by a tributary of the River Cher and Sauldre is mainly covered by agricultural and forested areas with ponds, good hunting as well as fungi .

In the 12th century the village was called "Celle-Saint-Knee" that could be translated as "the tomb of Saint Knee" but the name has long been supplanted by the name of the Saint Denis, which belonged to La Ferte-Imbault and was organized around the chapel. In the 13th century, found in the list of churches in the diocese of Bourges "Celle Saint Denis." In the 15th century also appears in the writings of the Priory "Selles Saint Denis." The word Saint Denis made on the construction of the church (she is dedicated to him), the chapel was too small for the offices. Historians have not yet established the exact relationship between the village and also writes Knee St. Saint Genouph, this Saint who lived in the 3rd century and would have done wonders. The separation of the municipalities of La Ferte-Imbault and Selles-Saint-Denis occurred in 1860.

Gothic style, the chapel Holy Genouph was mostly built during the 15th and 16th centuries. Chapel St. Genouph was classified a historic monument by the end of the year 1848. This monument is remarkable for the fact that the ship contains wall paintings representing episodes from the life of Saint Knee. Stained glass items are also related to the life of Saint Knee. The paintings are now in a pretty bad state of preservation, although since 1846, when the proposed demolition of the chapel was arrested, municipalities and the state have successive, especially during the 20th century, multiplied efforts of maintenance and restoration.
