The most beautiful religious buildings Central

Interesting Statuary. The Romanesque-style Saint-Denis church contains a classified polychrome baptistery dated 1556. It was restored in 1999.

The Romanesque Church of the th century is one of the few such copies in France: its so-called "firm rafters" structure is a precious witness. According to tradition, the day of Ascension takes place the procession of Deliverance in Saint-Hilaire-des-Walnut. She is followed by a mass in the chapel meadow with choir. She served the Resistance resistance.

Frescoes of the th and th centuries adorning the Romanesque apse of great iconographic interest, which represent the life of Saint André and Christ. The baroque style altarpiece was originally blue and blue since 1906. It was painted in the th century dark wood and gold. The baptismal funds of the th century are monumental.

One of the most remarkable Benedictine monuments in the region, thanks to the quality of the sculpted decor of its sanctuary - monsters that clash with or bite the tail, birds with long shoulders, monstrous faces with the pointues ears… see also the tomb of Saint Sylvain - th century.

This small Romanesque church of the th century, with circular apse, is breakthrough with three windows.

The nave is arched, wooden, with apparent entraits and four high glazed windows. Lighting the building every night.

The side portal of the church is Gothic Gothic style, a very rare style in the region. The relics of Saint Gourgon are kept in one of the chapels: The th and th century forest chapel. His relics are visible on the occasion of the pilgrimage that takes place every year on September 9.

This Romanesque church of the 1059 th century was built in by the Abbey of Chartres, on the ruins of a more ancient building. In the thick walls of masonry, you can still observe the Primitives primitives primitives windows. In the th century, the building underwent significant transformations. On the south wall of the nave, you will see a fresco, saying the three dead and three bright.

Built in 1136 by the Benedictine monks of Thiron-Harboring, the association arroutaine Culture and Recreation is responsible for opening up to the visit, along with the tour of Bois-Ruffin, this religious building, which is 8 km from Arrou.

On the central square of the village, the church faces the town hall. The religious building is very surprising since it is built in three different parts: The central part built in the th century incorporates the canons of the local architecture at that time, especially the use of the local stone stone, the two sides of the side, with more modern influences of the Gothic and Renaissance periods. Next to the church, the Tourist Information Point awaits visitors and includes a tour circuit to discover all the outstanding points of Arrou.

Of Romanesque origin, the church was transformed into the th and th centuries. Admire the beautiful, glazed voûte arch. The door, the Renaissance masterpiece, opens onto a rich interior decoration that was set up and led by a Breton sculptor, Charles Roscoët. The furniture, including a magnificent chasublier containing richly decorated sacerdotal clothes, and architecture are remarkable.

Previously the possession of clunisiens monks was built in the th and th centuries. Of Romanesque origin, the successive restorations of which it was the subject (especially in the th century, during which most of the percherons religious buildings were enlarged by the construction of a north-side formé with five-pignons alignment) give it a strange charm. Admire its glazed voûte and the quality of its religious art furniture dating from the th and th centuries.

The Protestant Temple is remarkable for its architecture. Anyone who passes through the streets of Burgundy cannot miss him and remain indifferent to him. It is the work of the architect Orléanais François Narcisse Pagot, and was built at the site of the former church Saint-Pierre-Empont, to be inaugurated on 2 May 1839. It is a building of circular central plane, formerly covered by a dome. This rotunda has a diameter of 14,80 m. It opens with a portail ion order portal.

To access the old church Saint-Aubin, you must follow the signs written in red on white funds. After leaving the village of Champrond, you have to go on the road and, behind the canopy cover, the old building appears. The church was built in the th century and, destroyed during the Revolution, was acquired by the inhabitants of the commune who wanted to restore it before selling it to an individual.

To discover "the green Beauce of the Loir and the Ozanne", nothing is worth a passage by Montharville, its church and its mare. At the heart of this circuit, the church of Sur, the th century church and its throne cemetery in a green corner, where children's games have been set up. In the building, a slab salutes the memory of Alix de Binanville, who was certainly a great lady in the region. Since Montharville, it is easy to join the Blé route in Beauce.

To discover Sur in all its attractions, the best thing is to leave the 10 National Road connecting Chartres to Chateaudun to enter the village. The passing of the Loir, which winds in the commune, already gives a good idea of what can be discovered since you can see the back of the houses, sometimes nicely decorated terraces. A little further away is the church Notre-Dame, a majestic, majestic Gothic building around which the weekly market is located. Then by walking on the adjacent streets, there is a good chance of crossing walls of walls in the form of arches in particular, most often on the edge of the Loir.

From the outside, the church Saint-Valérien impresses with its shape, scope and strength from these old stones. Built on three floors, which end with a clocher, the church also has a history spread over three centuries, the XII, XIII and xvith centuries, which are found in the interior architecture. In the main nave traces of wall paintings are visible; on the choir side, two side naves were added. Another particularity of the church is that the visit can take place at the rhythm of the statues: the name is placed under each character.

The village of Rouvray-Saint-Denis is one of the towns of Beauce eurélienne, which extends to the south-east of the department. In the hamlet of Arbouville, Notre-Dame de Lorette Chapel, founded in the sixteenth century, has the particularity of being made up of a first choeur and open choir. The other side, with a wooden cross on the facade, contains a statue of the Virgin Mary and gives access to an underground with two beautiful halls arched.

The first thing we noticed from Notre-Dame-du-Pasme chapel is its impressive bell. A square shape, mixing stones of ocre or dark ochre, reminiscent of visible monuments in Spain which was under Arab influence, this tower is one of the impressive elements of the building. The continue continues by entering the church and discovering the stations of the cross path, of the great pentagons embodying the steps of the march of Jesus towards his crucifixion. The Pasme designates Mary's fainting during passion. A statue represents it on the side of the cross road. For the rest, wood and gilded are interwoven in this building where it is good to pause.

The church Saint Michel is located on the south plateau of Dreux. Thanks to its huge wooden cross overlooking the area you will not be able to miss it. But if you are looking for flying arches, brisés, escutcheons, or even large windows, you will not find your happiness in this church. Indeed, far from the architectural style of the church of Saint Peter in the city centre, the church Saint Michel is in a model of sobriety and above all modernity. This church was built in the 1960 s and has a green area and a tar area for car parking.

The Church Sainte Marie de Vernou was granted in 1130 by Bishop of Orleans John II at the abbey of Saint Messin. In this 1896 th century monument, restored in by A. Chauvallon, architect in Romorantin, the numerous sculpted medallions around the nave will be appreciated. They represent strange and picturesque characters, some of whom take the tongue shamelessly to passers-by. The magnificent Louis XIII altarpiece has just been restored. We admire the stained glass windows. The church recently partially renovated.

The high square tower is visible from far when one passes from Essonne to the Eure and Loir. In fact, it is the steeple of the church of Garancières-en-Beauce, which dates from the th century which rises above the village and is classified in historical monuments. This tower stands on the church of Saint Etienne, founded in the xiiith century, next to an esplanade where you can also see the monument to the communal dead. A few metres from the building, a pond marks the entrance of the village, next to a superb farm.

At the intersection of the rue de la basse and the dolmen street, the church of Alluyes appears from the entrance to the commune, opposite the town hall and the local school. Then following the tree-lined road, the landscape changes a little: behind the cover of the trees pushing on the edge of the Loir which winds here, the dungeon of the former castle of the municipality stands apart. A property of a foundation that also operates the special educational institution of Alluyes, the dungeon overlooks the small village with its coffee and green spaces.

Behind the town hall of Saint-Eman, the church restored in the autumn of 2012 an elegant washing house bathed in a basin named «La Source du Loir». It is therefore this site that leaves the river irrigates much of the region situated to the southwest of the department of the Eure-et-Loir. But another peculiarity distinguishes the St. Eman pond from: the presence of a hydraulic ram. This system was used to feed the old castle castle from the river. Mechanisms no longer work, but machines are still visible.
