Church of Saint George and Saint Peter
Highlight • Other
This church dates from the end of the 11th century. It was a priory dependent on the Benedictine abbey of Marmoutier de Tours since 1064. The carved portal of the south facade, in limestone, is from the 12th century.
In 1515, the last bays of the side aisles were reworked. In the 17th century, a wooden bell tower, supported by four posts, was built on the first bay of the nave. The current bell dates from 1728.
The building was classified as a historic monument in 1959.

Notre-Dame Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The church is located in the center of the village on a slight elevation on the south side, due to the removal of land from the cemetery on this side. The date of construction of the building is unknown, but can be placed in the 16th century[1]. A good specimen of religious country architecture, the rectangular building is of fairly modest dimensions (25 m x 10 m), with a flat apse included in the general volume, covered with a saddle tile roof. The cover was resumed in 1992; on this occasion, a pattern representing a cross next to two diamonds was then created with tiles of different tones. A bell tower supported by double buttresses, to the west, constitutes the only access. This bell tower, like the west gable wall, was built in 1929 to the plans of the architect Louis Thévard, from Illiers[2]. The church is lit on the south side by four bays, two semi-circular on the sanctuary side, two trefoils for the part of the nave. The large bedside window was closed when the altarpiece was introduced.
The interior of the building, very simple, is covered in a round arch with paneling on punches and tie beams. The paneling joint covers follow the shape of the stars and rosettes. One of the tie-beams bears a coat of arms with the ringlets of the lords of Illiers. Traces of old paint are visible on some of the punches. At the entrance to the nave, a ladder gives access to a gallery communicating with the first floor of the bell tower-porch. A beautiful 18th century work bench. faces a modest pulpit to preach. On the hallmark located at the entrance to the sanctuary, there stood, until recently, a large Christ on the cross. The sacristy, on the north side, is accessible from the nave; it is lit by a narrow semi-circular opening on the north side.
The furniture of the sanctuary is very simple. In addition to the wooden enclosure, the altarpiece has a central canvas representing the Transfiguration, with two shallow niches in which are the statues of Saint James, on the left, and Saint Sebastian, on the right. A curious statue of Saint Louis, dressed in a fleur-de-lis chasuble, completes the ensemble.

Saint Lubin Church
Highlight • Other
The Saint-Lubin church, built on a sloping site, is a vast building with juxtaposed constructions, bearing witness to renovations and additions up to the 19th century, the oldest distinguished by the presence of grison, the most recent by limestone and flint.
The sanctuary was ceded in 1077 by the monks of Saint-Denis de Nogent-le-Rotrou to the monks of the Saint-Père de Chartres abbey.
Built in the 11th-12th century, the nave extended by a semi-circular apse is the oldest part of the church, in Romanesque style. In the thickness of the north walls of the nave are still visible the grison bonds which bear witness to the original openings.
The building was considerably enlarged in the 15th and 16th centuries by the construction of a large transept, formed of two chapels, and a south aisle forming an alignment of gables attached to the slopes decorated with leafy motifs and finished with chimeras.
The construction of the north aisle, just begun, was not finished. On the outside, on the west wall of the chapel, we can see the beginning of a first bay (stone arch and walls removed that remained unfinished).
On the gable of the north transept, the walled door can be seen from the pointed arch and the ornate pinnacles, characteristic of the end of the 15th century. In the center, two animals present a coat of arms. On each side of the door, niches with canopies once housed statues. Above, we can still see a coat of arms presented by two bearded figures and probably surmounted by God the Father.
According to local tradition, all or part of the extensions were due to the generosity of Florimont Robertet, who owned the barony of Brou from 1509 until his death in 1527, and it was because of this that the work was interrupted.
Occupied by the revolutionaries, the building became a ten-day temple in 1794; it was finally returned to worship in 1802.
Burnt down by lightning in 1813, the upper part of the bell tower, which was a slender spire, was replaced by the construction of a square limestone tower pierced with louvers. On the southern part of the bell tower, a turret provides access to the bells.
In the southern part of the nave, a door, now blocked and highlighted by a basket-handle arch topped with a pinnacle, provided access to the cemetery that once surrounded the church.
The building can boast of having preserved very uniform oak furniture, most of which was made in the second half of the 18th century.

Notre-Dame Church of Yèvres
Highlight • Religious Site
Building from the 12th, 15th and 17th centuries, remarkable from a distance with its bell tower whose spire soars 52 m high.
The vault of the vast nave is paneled in Norwegian fir. The Renaissance entrance door is topped with a double pediment.
The church has 17th century furniture of Breton inspiration, the sculptures of which are the work of the Breton Charles Roscouët. The baptismal font and the furniture of the sacristy are also worthy of interest.
Relics of Saint-Constance, given to the church of Yèvres in 1678 by Lord Cyprien Besnard de Rezey, Advisor to the King and Intendant of Finances, with the approval of Mgr Ferdinand de Neufville de Villeroy, Bishop of Chartres, whose portrait is prominently placed in the nave of the church.
The visit ends with the "chapier", a piece of furniture with semi-circular drawers, which contains, "flat", an exceptional collection of priestly vestments and accessories.
Recent work on the south porch has revealed exterior fonts and attractive moldings on the pillars.
