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.
