Every year, during the Heritage Days, the association "Au Cœur de Nos Villages" opens the doors of the Saint-Pierre church. A building from the 12th and 15th centuries, listed as a historical monument, whose bell tower, clock, and five renovated altarpieces, including Saint Michael slaying the dragon, are to be discovered. For the benefit of the Restos du Cœur Walkers will also be able to get to know the Atelier Arc-en-ciel (plastic arts) which exhibits the works of the adult group. Paintings, in red chalk, white pencil, sepia, etc., representing views of the church, statues, etc., will be put on sale for the benefit of the association Au Cœur de Nos Villages.

Construction period: 12th - 15th century, church remained unfinished. Classified by decree of December 19, 1907.

Its construction undoubtedly dates back to the Romanesque period but as it appears today it presents the characteristics of the Gothic style flamboyant period in which it was rebuilt after the destruction caused by the 100 Years' War. The date of March 23, 1511 inscribed on the entrance which surmounts the entrance to the choir gives a valuable clue to the period of its renovation. Another testimony is the coat of arms of Charles d’Ô Seigneur de Blévy and partly by Louise Gentil married in 1507 appearing on a stained glass window in the choir. The style of the tower porch, slopes of the gable of the nave and tracery of the windows clearly shows that we are in the presence of a building constructed in the first quarter of the 16th century at the twilight of the flamboyant Gothic style.

A magnificent Church and its stained glass windows, one of which is decorated on the right and left with statuettes which seem to me to be good and evil, with a very beautiful fountain on the square ⛲. The nave is located in the tower, there is also a monument in honor of our French people who died for their country, which is maintained and magnificent.

A “Renaissance” castle entirely made of bricks, where one of the favorites of the court of Henry III, Minister of Finance in exile, and above all an aviation pioneer lived: Hubert Latham landed here in August 1910. Although defenses were present on the site as early as 1383, the construction of the brick castle that we see today by Jean d'O, with its six towers and its chapel, dates back to around 1460. Guided tour of the castle and of the site is available. Adult prices start from 5 euros, the area is open in summer.

Its history is closely linked to the lords of Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais. One of them, Hughes I, founded the Royal Abbey of Saint-Vincent-aux-Bois there, which existed until the Revolution.

The Rond des Quatres Barrières is a historic monument dating from the 18th century. It was built by the Duke of Penthièvre, owner of the neighboring castle of Châteauneuf-en-Thymerais. The Rond des Quatres Barrières is made up of four stone arches which form a circle, with a fountain in the center. It is located in the middle of the forest. The Rond des Quatres Barrières is the ideal place to visit during a running race.
