    With its remains of round apse, its small arched windows, this church could pass for older than it is: in fact, the abbot of Saint-Vincent recognized in 1250 that it had just been founded new by Roger Cholet, knight. In 1646, a fire destroyed the entire village due to a girl who set fire to her parents' house. The king, coming to Chartres shortly after in 1648, reduced the size by half in favor of the inhabitants. The current building had to be rebuilt a few years later, because Florent de Raimbert, part lord of the place at that time, had his coat of arms painted there. The construction does not present any particular character; they probably used cut stones from the ruins (which no longer have buttresses). It was repaired in 1769, according to the inscription engraved on the main beam.
