Located on the edge of the plateau that dominates the Vigne valley to the north, the church of Rueil is of great interest both for its architecture and its furnishings.
The construction of the nave dates back to the Romanesque period (11th-13th century) but this nave was modified in the 16th century by the opening of semi-circular windows and consolidated by powerful buttresses.
The bell tower with a pyramidal spire on an octagonal base, pierced with louvers, is covered with slate like most of the bell towers of Thymerais and the Avre valley.
Inside, one is struck by the size of the nave covered with a shingle vault resting on tie beams whose ends are sculpted into monsters' mouths.
