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.

The castle of Senonches. You will find an information point inside.

Beautiful little village, typical of the region.

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 “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.

On the edge of the Perche, the Senonches castle, whose oldest remains date from the 12th century, had illustrious owners until the Revolution: from the lords of Thimerais to “Monsieur”, brother of King Louis XVI.

The church tower was built around the middle of the 12th century, by Hugues II, lord of Châteauneuf and Senonches. It is built with grison. Originally, this tower served as an observation post and a fortress intended to protect the castle. The octagonal turret of the spiral staircase (122 steps), has thirty-two manholes or loopholes arranged for the defense of the keep in the event of a siege. The exterior has five floors. The windows are Romanesque and vary in shape on each floor. The church was located inside the square, protected by ditches. It itself formed a rampart.
