샤탱쿠르에 위치한 생 마르탱 교회는 항상 이 지역의 유일한 예배 장소는 아니었습니다. 샤탱쿠르와 부탱쿠르 마을 사이에 작은 예배당이 있었는데, 이는 매우 오래된 시기의 것으로, 프랑크 왕국의 왕이었던 루이 7세(1137년부터 1180년까지 재위)가 1155년에 순례를 왔을 정도였습니다. 생 자크 예배당, 그것이 이름이었고 같은 이름의 장소는 오늘날 더 이상 존재하지 않으며, 종교 전쟁 중에 파괴되었습니다.

Mesnil-Thomas에 위치한 Saint-Barthélemy 교회는 Mesnil-Thomas 지자체에 자리한 종교 기념물입니다. 이 예배 장소는 많은 시골 교회와 마찬가지로 지역의 영적, 공동체 생활에서 중심적인 역할을 합니다. 이 교회의 건축과 역사는 Centre-Val de Loire 지역의 종교적 전통을 반영하지만, 이용 가능한 자료에는 건축 시기나 양식적 특징이 명시되어 있지 않습니다. Centre-Val de Loire의 시골 지역에서 Saint-Barthélemy와 같은 본당 교회는 주민들의 모임 장소 역할을 했으며, 공동 생활의 중요한 시점인 일요일 미사, 종교 축제, 사회 행사를 기념했습니다. 이 건물들은 종종 마을 조직의 중심이었으며 신앙과 공동체 결속력을 모두 상징했습니다. 상세한 역사적 데이터가 부족하여 이 교회의 특정 특징을 추적하기는 어렵지만, 그 존재 자체만으로도 이 지역의 종교 유산의 중요성을 증명합니다.

The Saint-Eloi Saint-Jean-Baptiste church in Crécy-Couvé is currently being restored. The spire of its bell tower, which was leaning dangerously, has been dismantled and is currently stored in the church awaiting restoration.

Located on the banks of the Blaise River, southwest of Dreux in the prestigious Crécy-Couvé district, the Marquise de Pompadour's residence from 1746 to 1757, the seigneury of Saulnières came under the Marquise's ownership in 1754. Some remarkable elements of the church's furnishings are undoubtedly due to the generosity of this patron of the arts. The Saint-Pierre church, built on the heights of the commune of Saulnières, is believed to have originally been the church of a Benedictine convent, which ceded it to its inhabitants in 1571 after the sack of their place of worship in 1562, during the First Battle of Dreux. While the cartularies of Saint-Père, Beaulieu, and Belhomer mention the town from the first half of the 12th century, we have no documents on the church before its transfer to the commune. The building (34 m by 11.5 m), oriented, with a single nave of four bays extended by a choir bay, ends with a three-sided chevet extended along the axis by a sacristy. The walls are made of cobblestone and grison rubble, while the twelve buttresses are sandstone. The steeply pitched roof is covered with tiles, and, practically in its center, stands a bell tower with a hexagonal base crowned by a spire of the same shape. The western door is framed by two buttresses: it is surmounted by a rose window that probably dates from the 19th-century construction campaign. In the south wall, at the level of the first bay, a blocked, semicircular-arched entrance door suggests a Romanesque construction. From the second bay, light streams in generously through eight openings: semicircular arches for those in the nave and Gothic-style for the four choir bays; a fifth, axial, was blocked when the altarpiece was installed. The 16th-century stained-glass windows were destroyed during a bombing raid during the Second World War; only a few elements, listed as Historic Monuments, remain in the sacristy. The vault, covered with shingles, must have been painted, as evidenced by the hallmark decorated with black and white diamonds and chevrons, likely from the 16th century. The great simplicity of the architecture is offset by the relative richness of the furnishings. The late 15th-century stone statues representing Saint Barbara, a religious figure without attributes, and two angels from the same period constitute a fine example of Gothic sculpture, albeit lacking the two angels purchased in the early 20th century for the Louvre, where they are now on display. The choir's layout could date back to the time of Madame de Pompadour: the doors, open on either side of the central section, are surmounted by two painted and gilded wooden statues, Saint Peter and Saint Sebastian. The central section is crowned by God the Father, and the canvas depicts Saint Peter freed from his chains by an angel. A fragmentary funerary liter is still visible inside and outside. In 2003, the Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French National Art Foundation) granted €10,000 in aid to help repair the structure and roof of the building, whose condition had been aggravated by the 1999 storm.

The Church of Saint-Éloi-Saint-Jean-Baptiste is believed to have originally been the chapel of the Château de Couvé, the first known mention of which dates back to 1215. This château belonged to the Abbey of Saint Père de Chartres. The layout of this chapel is currently unknown. Observing the architectural features of the current church allows us to place its construction between the 15th and 16th centuries. Improvement and modernization work were undertaken in the second half of the 18th century when Louis XV offered the Crécy estate to the Marquise de Pompadour: enlargement of the medieval windows, construction of an altarpiece forming a sacristy, a choir enclosure, and a gallery that could replace an older structure providing access to the attic. During this work, it is assumed that some of the bell tower's supports were removed to free up the nave and harmonize the interior spaces. After a prosperous period, the 19th and 20th centuries saw a slow deterioration of the building, despite some maintenance work being carried out on the roofs and other parts of the church that required it. It was only in 1901 that major work was undertaken, with the repair of the bell tower roof. This was followed in 1925 by work to consolidate the bell tower structures and repair the roofs of the western part of the nave. The bell tower and spire are tilting significantly to the south, linked to a failure of the old supports and the deterioration of the supporting structures, requiring urgent safety and restoration work.

The Church of Saint-Martin, located on a slight rise, is surrounded by land corresponding to the former cemetery. It is built of pebble masonry, with stone frames, buttresses, and corner walls. The plan consists of a three-bay nave, a choir bay onto which two asymmetrical chapels open, and a three-sided apse. To the west, the nave is preceded by a small porch, while the bell tower is located in the southwest corner. Externally, this ordinary plan is contradicted by the elevation of the western facade: the impression of imbalance comes in particular from the fact that the wall enclosing the nave rises to the upper cornice of the bell tower, buttressed by three heavy buttresses. The bell tower bears the date 1322. A large Gothic window was opened in the axis of the nave, above the porch. The windows pierced in the dripstone walls are pointed arches, almost pointed. The interior of the building is of high quality. The nave is covered with a paneled vault, dated 1733 and signed with the name Beauchais. The antique pews and the nave paving, although damaged by moisture, contribute to the church's charm. To the north, the seigneurial chapel has retained its 19th-century neoclassical decor. The church contains several notable objects: a 15th-century chest, used as an altar, a 16th-century baptismal font, and two paintings depicting members of the Brotherhood of Charity, one dated 1621, the other painted in the 19th century. The charitons, identified by their names, are depicted in robes, with stoles and birettas, carrying the brotherhood's banner, the cross, and candles. In 2001, the Sauvegarde de l’Art français (French Art Protection Agency) awarded a grant of €18,294 for the repair of the roof and framework, with related zinc work and the installation of a lightning conductor.

Mentioned in 1159 as a possession of the chapter of Chartres, the oldest parts of the church of Saint-Léger, the nave and western façade, must date back to the 11th century. The nave, 15 m long and 7 m wide, is built from small rubble stones embedded in mortar. Only the corner quoins of the façade and the semicircular arch of the entrance door are made of dressed stone. In 1514, a larger choir (10 m X 10 m) finished by a flat wall, was added to the east. Some of its pointed arched bays have retained their beautiful tracery. The entire choir and nave are covered by a beautiful framework in the shape of an inverted hull. A significant decoration, created in the 18th century, woodwork, stalls, work bench, glory arch, lectern, and communion railing have been fortunately preserved. Traces of medieval wall paintings and a coat of arms were spotted on the walls, as well as ancient graffiti on the exterior. A 12th-century stone baptismal font and a 15th-century stone statue of Saint Léger are listed as Historic Monuments. A slate bell tower, topped with a slate spire, rises above the slightly recessed gable of the western façade. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French Art Protection Agency) granted aid of 100,000 francs in 1992 and then 40,000 francs in 1993 for essential work on the framework and roof.
