The Saint-Germain church, also known as the Eglise du Paty, is unique in that it is located outside the center of Hanches, in a secluded spot surrounded by fields and a small cemetery. It can be seen from all directions, including from the Paris-Chartres train line. The church consists of a massive tower and a low roof, both of which are imposing. At first glance, it resembles a bastion tower that would have served as a refuge for the inhabitants during the Middle Ages. Construction of the church dates back to the 11th century, although there are no documents to pinpoint the exact date of its construction. The first documents officially mentioning the existence of this church date from the 12th century. Over the centuries, the church has undergone modifications and additions, including an imposing bell tower in the 15th century to protect peasants from attack during the Hundred Years' War. The church also features a lean-to aisle with paintings depicting the coat of arms of the de Champrond family, influential in the 16th century. A mechanical clock was installed in 1783, replaced by an electric one in 1937. The rooster, roof and facades were renovated in 2003.
