Coltainville의 생 뤼뱅 교회는 Centre-Val de Loire 지역의 Coltainville 코뮌에 위치한 종교 기념물입니다. 이름은 6세기 샤르트르의 주교인 성 뤼뱅에게 헌정된 것을 연상시키지만, 이용 가능한 자료에서는 건설 시기나 자세한 역사를 명시하지 않습니다. 프랑스 시골 지역에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 이러한 유형의 건물은 영적 및 공동체적 측면 모두에서 지역 생활에서 중요한 역할을 합니다.

Before 528, the village of Saint-Prest was called Saint-Jean-sur-Eure. At that time, the Bishop of Chartres, Ethère, had a building built adjoining the southern flank of the parish church, including a "martyrium" to house the remains of holy martyrs (the legend of Saint-Prest), which were placed in ten sarcophagi. The most honored relics were those of a certain Priscus; following numerous miracles, the parish took the name of Saint-Prest. The current church's crypt is the apse of the 9th-century Carolingian church, which replaced a 6th-century sanctuary. Access to the 12th-century nave, on the west side, is through a beautiful Romanesque portal, carved from beautiful limestone, surmounted by a triple saw-tooth archivolt and framed by two small columns with capitals. On the right, a face would be that of Eve, and on the left would appear the tempting serpent.

beautiful church with an imposing facade

The church, located in the heart of the village, is originally a Romanesque building composed of a nave from the 11th and 12th centuries, ending with a cul-de-four apse in blocking and pierced by three Romanesque bays with splays. Today, the central bay is hidden. An imposing western massif precedes the nave, it has been modified over the centuries, in particular in the second half of the 18th century, and it has a squat bell tower. The entire tower is treated in local limestone as well as the buttresses, the frame of the portal and the bays. The church was enlarged at the beginning of the 16th century by the addition of a chapel to the south and by the addition, a little later in the century, of an aisle. Its dimensions are approximately 30 m long and 18 m wide. The facade is very sober; It is pierced by a door with a broken profile whose external arch is highlighted by a dripstone. An oculus was opened in the upper part of the gable wall. The church underwent major work between 1880 and 1925 approximately. In 1879-1880, the sacristy was completely redone, then in 1912 the entire roof was redone in slate with the exception of the apse. The interior porch is the most carefully designed element of this architecture. The semicircular portal, giving direct access to the nave, is enhanced by a molded torus with a diamond point pattern falling on small columns. This porch is covered with a ribbed vault which falls on the four corner columns with foliate capitals. The nave and aisle are covered with a paneled framework which suffers from disorders. The vaults of the choir and the apse were restored over the centuries and their stained glass windows were made during a campaign between 1919 and 1924. The chapel of the Virgin and the corbels were decorated with paint at the end of the 19th century. The altar and the canopy of the Virgin are in the neo-Gothic style. Two notable elements of the old statuary remain: a quality statue of the Virgin, probably from the 16th or 17th century and a small Saint Vincent of local manufacture. The condition of the framework and the roof of the choir required work, as did all the timbers which had to be treated. To this end, the Sauvegarde de l’Art français made a contribution of €5,000 in 2011.

The Saint-Germain de Morancez church could date from the 10th century. Its cut stone facade is punctuated by four buttresses framing a portal. This is composed of three concentric arches resting on engaged columns, decorated with capitals. The zigzag decoration of the arches confirms a dating before the 12th century. The occulus surmounting the porch illuminates a semi-circular vaulted nave. This was enlarged with an aisle built much later and where there is an altar dedicated to the Virgin. The furniture remains simple but not without interest with its benches enclosed in painted wood. However, it is worth mentioning a sculpted pulpit from the 18th century. In 1707, the prior-parish priest of Morancez was Nicolas Courvoisier, religious of the Saint-Jean-en-Vallée abbey. A poet, he is notably the author of a Latin ode addressed to the people of Chartres on the death of Paul de Godet des Marais1. He died on May 14, 1742 in Morancez and was buried in the church. (his tombstone remains to be identified.) Although Morancez was a modest parish, in 1851 it benefited from a prestigious gift from Jérôme Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, governor of Les Invalides, then in residence at the Château de Gourdez. He offered the church a painting, Moses makes water flow from the rock, painted by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli between 1657 and 1660. This Italian artist had been called to decorate the cabinet called "At the water's edge" of the apartment of Queen Anne of Austria at the Louvre. He created a decor, now dismembered, composed of a set of six paintings devoted to the story of Moses, including the work, classified as a Historic Monument, preserved in our church. Another interesting work which could be attributed to the school of Philippe de Champaigne represents Jesus among the doctors. These two paintings benefited from a restoration in 1998
