    Of Romanesque origin, it houses several works classified as objects. It was built in several stages: in the 12th and 13th centuries, as evidenced by its counter-broken porch visible after passing the first door of the bell tower, then in the 15th and 16th centuries with the construction of the bell tower, the opening of fitted side doors in the foothills (unique in the region), and its widening to the south with the opening of two Renaissance style bays with stained glass windows listed in 1905, representing Saint Michael and his two donors, Saint Catherine in the center with the reconstituted coats of arms of a seigneurial family of La Rouge: the Le Roy de Chavigny, finally a pietà. The church played a protective role for its population during peasant revolts but also during banditry. It was equipped with a high square bell tower with four windows at its top to monitor the surroundings, a bretèche above the main portal and an airlock for its two side doors protected by its thick buttresses. The apse is flat as in many small country churches. Two windows were opened to the north to provide more light in 1790. After the revolutionary turmoil, a 17th century altarpiece (classified in 1968) from the Récollets de Cherré near La Ferté-Bernard was installed.
