The Notre-Dame de Poupry Church, located in the southern Eure-et-Loir region, in the heart of Beauce, is a 12th-century building, predominantly Romanesque in style, incorporating some Gothic elements such as ribbed vaults. Several phases of work have allowed the building to be maintained: work on the roof and framework, restoration of the exterior plasterwork, work in the sacristy, restoration and lighting of stained-glass windows discovered on the site. Today, further work is needed: masonry, carpentry, and restoration of the Stations of the Cross. A fundraising campaign is underway to fund the work. Your support is essential to the preservation of this precious heritage.
With its saddleback bell tower, Notre-Dame de Poupry sits in a green setting and borders a large square in the center of this small Beauce village of about a hundred inhabitants. First named Saint Sulpice, it became Notre-Dame de Poupry. Modest in appearance, the single nave is enlarged by two chapels. The furnishings date mainly from the 18th century. There are baptismal fonts with two gadrooned basins. Only one painting is exhibited in this church: "Saint Cecilia and the Angel with the Music Sheet," painted by Jules Vignon in 1872. Like many others, this church was endowed with this painting after the revolutionary turmoil. It was also the subject of a last-chance operation during a previous restoration supported by the Heritage Foundation.
