Since 1823, the commune's territory has united the former parish of La Trinité, which was under the bishopric of Chartres, and that of Beaulieu, under the bishopric of Evreux, located on either side of the Avre River, which marked the separation. The tall brick bell tower-porch was added in the 19th century to the older nave (15th-16th centuries?), rectangular in plan, whose wooden vault rests on an exposed roof frame. This modest rural church houses, as a counterpart to the Curé d'Ars, a 15th-century polychrome stone Virgin of exceptional artistic quality. The two sculpted doors of the sacristy come from La Trinité, as well as the engraved "flat tomb" attached to the nave wall. It dates from the 15th century. and the inscriptions are difficult to decipher: Jean Fillon, wearing a canon's hood and a chasuble, his hands clasped and his feet resting on two small dogs, is depicted in a Gothic setting with two angels, silhouettes of altar boys, and canons. Near the baptismal font decorated with three fleurs-de-lis is a large painting of Saint Gilles the hermit, with the doe lying at his feet. A beautiful series of stained-glass windows from the early 20th century illustrate scenes from the New Testament, and two others show Joan of Arc at the king's coronation in Reims, then taking communion in her prison before being led to the stake.

The church is closely inserted between the castle park and the houses of the village, which presents a harmonious ensemble of buildings from the 18th and early 19th centuries, combining flint and brick with lime plaster tinted with ochre. You have to step back a little to see its apse, the foundation of which probably dates back to the Romanesque period. Next to the entrance gable, dressed in Grison rubble, the bell tower was built in 1867 (according to the inscription preserving the names of the mason Gelin and the carpenter Hallier, with those of the priest, Abbot Porcher, the mayor, Viscount des Brosses, and the municipal councilors). The nave is extended by a rounded apse, with thick walls pierced by widely splayed semicircular openings, between which are placed the statues of Saint Sebastian, the Virgin and Child, Saint Michael and the dragon, and a holy bishop. On the "perque" (or beam of glory), a large Christ surrounded by the Virgin and Saint John. The transverse chapel, on the right, from the 15th or 16th century, vaulted with ribs resting on four pendentives with a central key carved like lace, was the seat of the brotherhoods. It houses the more recent statues of Saint Sebastian, the Virgin, Saint Michael and a holy bishop. The seigneury of Chennebrun, which belonged successively to Saint-Simon de Courtomer (1650), Caumont de la Force (1670), Grimoard de Beauvoir (1688), Laval Montmorency (1714), d'Espinay Saint-Luc (1765), etc., was acquired during the Restoration by Jacques-Alexandre Giroult des Brosses, whose father had been mayor of Dreux in 1771. In the seigneurial chapel on the left, inscriptions recall the names and dates of the members of this family linked for more than four generations to the life of the commune. We are grateful to them for having admirably maintained the castle, whose 18th century façade and the entrance to the park are visible from the gate. Their coat of arms appears on the stained glass window of this chapel, where we recognize in the center those of a Laval-Montmorency, Lord of Chennebrun, knight of honor of the Duchess of Orléans, master of the cavalry camp, who died in 1757, as indicated by his funerary slab on the threshold. The numerous 19th century stained glass windows with the names of the donors are worth seeing in detail. The one in the center, in the choir, lifts us to the sky with Our Lady of the Assumption. The statue of Mary, patron saint of Chennebrun, never ceases to watch over her church.

The church dedicated to Saint Christopher was under the patronage of the Abbey of Saint-Père de Chartres in the 12th century. Of Romanesque origin, the building was extensively enlarged and remodeled during the 16th and 19th centuries; it is currently undergoing a general restoration. This church owes its fame to the automobile pilgrimage held on the last Sunday in July. The single-aisled building, preceded by a porch, consists of a nave and a choir with a recessed flat chevet. To the south are the bell tower and a chapel. The use of traditional materials in this part of Normandy—flint and grison, a locally quarried ferruginous stone—indicates that the oldest parts of the building are of medieval origin. The nave is built of rubble masonry (grison and flint) set in mortar. In dressed stone, Grison was used to form, on one side, the corners of the exposed gable of the nave and, on the other, the corner buttresses, to frame the small arched openings, since walled up but still visible on the north and south walls, as well as the pointed arch of the portal. The same approach is found in the choir. The elevations are finished with a quarter-round cornice, part of which is also made of Grison stone. The use of brick corresponds to the 19th-century interventions, in two phases of work whose completion date is unknown. An examination of the construction reveals a first phase of repairs to the openings, particularly in the choir and nave, where large rectangular openings with curved lintels were created, the bricks of which are light in color. This was followed by further interventions with pointed arched openings framed in purplish brick, some of which replaced the rectangular openings of the previous phase. The porch features an ornate gable of light-colored, rendered brickwork, flanked by brick and chipped flint pilasters, and pierced by a central bay framed in brick and topped with a niche; the side sections are timber-framed on a masonry base. The southern flank of the building was added during the 16th century to a vast chapel and a bell tower, made of rubble blockwork, in which bays are pierced, framed in limestone, with curved profiles in the case of the bell tower. Restoration work has revealed several molded courses on the south face of the chapel, corresponding to a bay removed during later restorations, which confirm the dating of this part of the building. This chapel opens onto the nave through a large arcade adorned with several rows of moldings, resting on simple square piers devoid of decoration, with animal figures (reused?) at their bases, unearthed during the restoration work. The interior is remarkably simple, with whitewashed walls and geometric stained-glass windows. Only the choir is more ornate; its entrance is marked by a stone arch resting on hexagonal piers with historiated capitals, where a sculpted frieze of foliate ornaments, figures, and a coat of arms unfolds. The church has a painted faux-marble altarpiece, above which are visible traces of incomplete wall paintings depicting draperies. The rafter frame forming a truss was straightened and reinforced by restoring the removed or weakened kingposts and tie beams. According to tradition, the carpenters left the mark of their work by sculpting a scalloped ... The bell tower's belfry has also undergone a complete restoration. For this restoration, designed to strengthen the church and enhance its architecture, the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) granted €10,000 in 2005.
