This statue of Saint Louis (Louis IX) was erected in 1879 by the Duke of Aumale. Discussions as long as they are confusing have arisen about the birthplace of Saint Louis, which some place in Poissy while others place this holy king in La Neuville en Hez.

For a long time, there was no other church than the collegiate church in the castle. The new parish church, whose construction date remains uncertain, was consecrated in 1327 by Jean de Marigny under the name of Saint Samson, Bishop of Dol-de-Bretagne. The chapel windows feature magnificent stained-glass windows, some dating back to the 16th century. It's a delight to gaze upon the colorful, richly colored stained-glass windows! 👍

The chapel is located about 1 km north of Cernoy, at the entrance to the hamlet of Trois-Étots. The chapel is built in red brick with white stone accents and dates from the early 16th century. It is noteworthy that the construction of the chapel was probably simultaneous with that of the southeastern part of the nearby castle of Trois-Étots. Inside, the chapel has a single nave with three bays, closed by a three-sided choir. Noteworthy are the three cylindrical columns between each bay, which rest on a semicircular base. The windows have Gothic tracery and contain two types of windows: some have two central mullions opening into smaller windows, while others have three equal windows with an acute angle. There are inscriptions on the capitals of the pillars, one of which mentions the year 1544, which is probably the year the chapel was built.

The Etang du Château Saint Louis is a beautiful pond surrounded by forests and wetlands, which was part of the Château Saint-Louis, a former royal residence. You can follow the trail that goes around it, enjoying the view of the water and wildlife.

The Château de Chantilly, designed by Henri d'Orléans, Duke of Aumale, is a jewel of French heritage. You can admire its stained-glass windows, organ, and bas-relief depicting a corpse, as well as the ruins of the medieval castle nearby. The church is located on a hilltop offering panoramic views of the valley and plain.
