It is to Guillaume Davaugour and Perette de Baïf, his wife, that we attribute the erection of the Courtalain chapel into a parish church; The church is located in the immediate perimeter of the castle. The entire building is partly covered with flat tiles for the roof of the nave, the bell tower, the staircase turret; the three cut sides of the apse and the lower north side are covered in natural slate. Inside the nave is a Mutin Cavaillé Coll organ dating from 1936. It contains several interesting paintings.

The parish church of Saint-Pellerin, whose oriented plan is reduced to a simple rectangle, only retains a few vestiges of the Romanesque period: part of the southern wall, itself repaired several times. The building, which was struck by lightning, was restored in 1821 with the reconstruction of a beautiful molded frame with tie beams. On the north side a chapel opens onto the nave through two arcades which rest on cylindrical columns. The flat bedside is pierced by a large window with three lancets topped with flamboyant tracery. The western facade is dominated by a triangular gable whose slopes are decorated with kale and dogs sitting on piles of loads, the Renaissance style portal is decorated with a large shell surmounted by a sculpted base of a angel holding a shield. On the north and south sides, thick glaciated buttresses support the gutter walls. The Safeguarding of French Art granted aid of 25,000 F in 1993 to restore the flat tile roof and the slate bell tower.

The Langey church, built under the name of Saint Pierre, dates back to the 11th century. This rectangular building, without side aisles, 32m50 long and 8m80 wide, is finished on the west side by a gable with sloped cut stones, pierced by two pretty Romanesque windows, and on the east side by a semi-circular apse. Inside, it houses two polychrome wooden statues representing a 17th century bishop and Saint James. The octagonal bell tower, straddling the roof, is a frame resting on six posts and covered with slates. Its spire is certainly the most beautiful and highest in the region. The bell was cast on site, in the village itself in 1811.

The Romanesque church of Ruan dates from around 1133. From this date until the revolution, the church of Ruan will depend on the Abbaye de la Madeleine de Châteaudun, a priory will be founded there. The building is elongated in its proportions, one more bay compared to a simple parish church of the same period. This is due to the size of the choir. built to accommodate regular canons. In the 12th century, the canons had to access this choir directly from their residence through a small door in the wall. (according to the historical study by Nicolas HURON). The bell tower is a square tower covered with a gable roof. The portal must not only be described, it must be placed in its historical context and tried to give it an interpretation. In the first half of the 12th century, intellectuals, that is to say monks or canons, tried to educate and raise the faith of the population through images. Ruan's portal is an educational work tending to show the power of God and the vanity of earthly pleasures. Romanesque architecture is based on the representation of the earth and the sky, the temporal and the spiritual. The uprights of the portal represent this temporality, the semicircular arch is a representation of the sky. The door is recessed by what we call herringbone moldings. Behind this technical name there is a representation that we always find around Christ in glory on the frescoes of this period. All the decorative motifs on this portal were probably painted and colorful in the 12th century.
