Located in Droué in Loir-et-Cher, the Saint Nicolas church dates from the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. Droué was in the Middle Ages the name of a castle located between two parishes, Bourguérin and Boisseleau, which each had their own church and their own lord. The Saint Nicolas church, which was built on the site of the old chapel of the Château de Bourguérin, would then have replaced an old parish church. Today, the building is characteristic of Perche Vendômois. The nave, covered with paneling, was enlarged by a bay on the west side in 1631 by Isaac de Raynier and provided with a semi-circular portal with, on either side, two Doric columns. The choir, which underwent significant alterations in the 19th century, ends with a three-sided apse. Since the 19th century, the church has also had a sacristy and two chapels. In the chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas there is a door dating from the 15th century or the beginning of the 16th century. We can also observe stained glass windows representing the coats of arms of the imperial families, as well as a painting by Jouvenet: a man in armor is kneeling before a bishop to whom he gives keys. Several wooden statues, including a Virgin which dates from the 17th century, also decorate the church.
