The bell tower and nave were erected in 1150 to house the relics of Saint Martin. The choir and side aisles date from 1519. At the beginning of the 17th century, significant ornamental donations were added, as well as two altars in the side aisles dedicated to Saint Sebastian and the Virgin Mary. Major renovations were carried out in the 19th century: the choir vaults were completely rebuilt in 1859. The stained-glass windows date from 1871. A baptistery outside the building was built to the north of the first bay of the nave. The bays above each altar are built in the neo-Gothic style. The original decoration, dating from the 16th to 18th centuries, consisting of geometric elements in red, yellow, and black, has recently been restored. It is a tempera painting on a sand and lime plaster. It adorns the elevations and the vaults of the two lower sides.

Nice surprise despite the D+. It's super pretty but not too much to enjoy it just enough.

The English garden of the castle of Méréville was designed by the painter Hubert Robert around 1786. Foreshadowing the romantic gardens, it is adorned with caves, bridges, factories and false ruins. The place has a crazy charm. Free entry but opening hours vary. Inquire on the web.

At the exit of Aunay-Sous-Auneau is this charming wood where we meet many joggers and walkers. The road which runs along this wood is bordered by an old wall is very suitable for a bike ride. Few cars.

today, the castle and its round towers display a singular silhouette in pink brick in the village. Its history dates back to the invasion of the Romans who set up a farm there to supply Rome with wheat. Over the years this farm was fortified then, during the wars of religion, it became a fortified castle surrounded by defensive moats. Raised to the rank of Marquisate by Louis XIV, the castle was abandoned. Very degraded, in 1760, the decision was taken to ask the architect Liégeon to rebuild, on the foundations, a simple residence, integrated into the outbuildings of the thirteenth century. During the revolution, the property was confiscated and then bought back from the National Property.
