Long before the Percheron bocage flourished, the town of Luigny was isolated in the depths of the impenetrable forest which then covered our region, in a desolate place infested with wolves, which gave it its name and its weapons: “ Azure with a bar Or charged with a lumberjack's ax Argent hafted proper, accompanied by a wolf's head torn off Argent in chief and a bouquet of oak leaves Vert around a naturally pointed glans. An 11th century charter notes the donation to the Saint-Père abbey of Chartres “of a small church in Perche, called Lupiniacus since ancient times, and founded in honor of John the Baptist… now so destroyed by the wars foreign or civilian and reduced to a desert that there are barely a few inhabitants nearby and no priest comes to celebrate mass there, not even once or twice a year... Except for the symbol of religion which is placed on the altar that it contains, the pagans would rather take it for the hovel of an unfortunate peasant..." Things have very fortunately evolved since then, and if the main body of this church and its solid gray buttresses bear witness from its Romanesque past, today it also presents an interesting choir which preserves one of the most beautiful Baroque style ensembles in the region. Its altarpiece is classified as a historic monument. It also constitutes a very worthy residence under the patronage of the great Saint John the Baptist.
