Highlight • Religious Site

The nave of Notre-Dame church dates from the 12th and 13th centuries.

Originally the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu, built in 1182, it was then placed under the name of Saint-Jacques and only became a parish church after the Revolution, after the destruction in 1798 of the Notre-Dame church. des Marais from which it will take its name.

The church does not have a bell tower, the monks of the Saint-Denis abbey of Nogent-le-Rotrou not wanting a new bell tower to exceed theirs. The collaterals were added in the 14th and 15th centuries.

It has been classified as a historic monument since 1907 for its nave and in 1949 for the funeral chapel of Sully.

Saint Martin Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Martin church of La Croix-du-Perche, composed of a single nave without aisles, dates from the 12th century. At this date, the church is the chapel of a priory founded around 1250 by the Abbey of the Holy Trinity of Tiron. The church only became a parish when the monks left, towards the end of the 16th century.

The monument is remarkable for its 16th century framework, entirely decorated with paintings dated 1537.

The building was classified as a historic monument in 1934.

Saint-Lubin Church of Chassant

Highlight • Religious Site

The church dates from the 12th century and has undergone numerous transformations over time. Made up of a simple vessel rounded at the apse, it bears traces of Romanesque construction: buttress, small high windows and cornice alternating white and gray stones which borders its slate roof.

Over the centuries several doors and windows have been closed but the apse retains its small semi-circular windows.

Saint André de Frétigny church

Highlight • Other

A church with beautiful medieval frescoes. The Romanesque apse reveals frescoes from the 12th and 13th centuries of great iconographic interest which represent a Christ in Majesty, scenes from the Passion and the Life of Saint Andrew.

The nave is topped by a paneled vault and flanked, at the northwest corner, by an 18th century bell tower. It opens onto a very elegant Renaissance portal. The church was stripped of its cemetery at the end of the last century. Quite massive overall, it is made up of three buildings which were added to each other, from east to west, starting from a primitive chapel of which the current small apse remains.

Notre Dame Church

Highlight • Other

The inhabitants of Margon can admire the church of Notre-Dame du Mont-Carmel, proudly dominating the old town on its rocky spur, at the corner of two green valleys. It was later given an aisle during the 16th century, but its Romanesque portal has been preserved. It reigns benevolently over the old cemetery which surrounds it and which has recently been enlarged due to the increase in the population of the commune.
