Église Saint Georges
Highlight • Other
The Romanesque church of Saint George was rebuilt in 1540 after a fire destroyed it during the conflicts between the French, English, and Burgundians. It is said that the villagers took refuge in the church, especially in the tower, and that the English did not hesitate to set it ablaze. The two bells, dating from 1816, and a beam bearing the carpenters' names are listed as historical monuments. Exploring the village, you will discover several ponds and old water pumps, a Caesar's Way (Chemin d'Arcé), and a wood.

Saint Martin Church

The church of Ermenonville la Grande dates largely from the end of the Middle Ages. The choir is the most neat part, it has Romanesque buttresses and bays adorned with cut stones. The nave was probably destroyed during the Hundred Years' War. Its reconstruction was not done in the same style and as elaborately as the choir. The walls are composed quite simply with little dressed stone. The north and south walls of the nave had two doors which gave access to the cemetery. The north door was surely blocked at the beginning of the 20th century when the cemetery was moved and the south door was blocked around 1945. These openings were surrounded by a few cut stones and limestone.

15th-century murals in Saint-Orien church
Highlight • Monument
The walls of the nave of the church of Saint-Orien are adorned with paintings from the 15th century, which are surprisingly well preserved.
They represent a dance of death, symbolizing the confrontation between humans and death.

Saint Orien Church

Historically, our small medieval Romanesque church, dedicated to Saint Silvanus, was an integral part of a lordship. We can, still today, guess the vestiges of the seigniorial coat of arms on the liter (the banner) located just below the windows on the north face.
Located near the old castle moat, the cemetery flanked it, on the north side in place of the current car park and the multi-purpose room, on the south side at the level of the green space currently planted with lime trees.
Originally only the central building existed and the bell tower topped it in its center. This is the reason why at the beginning of the 1980s, the framework began to collapse, weakened by the weight and the marks of time left by the old bell tower. This renovation proved, if necessary, through the design of the framework, the existence of the central bell tower. The time when the bell tower was moved off-center is at the end of the 16th century, beginning of the 17th century.
Concerning the creation of the sacristy and the side chapels, the departmental archives hold a plan of the church, dated August 19, 1853 which clearly indicates the existence of the sacristy and only the north chapel, the construction of the South chapel was therefore not concomitant.
In the masonry, the small Romanesque windows can still be seen, the only one remaining, unwalled, opens to the east and still today offers a light entrance into the apse.
Around the church we notice two types of buttresses, the first, the narrower ones date from the creation of the building, the more massive ones date from the 18th century, placed as reinforcements
Neo-classicism at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century left its mark on this building.
Outside, as we have seen, by the addition of the sacristy as well as the small side chapels now forming a transept.

Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
Highlight • Other
The main nave, ending in a semicircular apse, is preceded by a timber-framed porch and opens to the north onto a chapel through a wide archway. The timber-framed bell tower, clearly from the same period as the 17th-century wainscoting, rests on a base spanning the nave.
A second nave is covered with quadripartite masonry vaults from different periods. Of a dressed stone tower, only the spiral staircase and the first level remain, built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The side aisle was built in the 14th century and enlarged in the 16th.
1660: Supposed collapse of the tower attached to the nave, of which only the first level remains.
1679: Paneling on the nave and probable construction of the small timber-framed spire.
19th century: Supposed construction of the timber-framed chapel.
The church was under the jurisdiction of the chapter of Notre-Dame de Chartres (the chapter's name can be seen on the lock of the small door on the right and is painted on the walls of the capital with stars and the date 1733 L.M.M.P.).
