Fortified Farm of la Troche

Highlight • Historical Site

This fortified farm was occupied from the Middle Ages, but most of its buildings date from the 16th century. Tradition has it that the building was a sickhouse (or leper colony), founded in the 13th century by the Templars. The main room of the building still bears the name of “hospital” today. Classified as a Historic Monument, it is now a private property that it is unfortunately impossible to visit, but you can observe its proud silhouette in passing.

Estate built in the first third of the 17th century, having preserved its park, its outbuildings and its alley of lime trees from the end of the 18th century. The castle stands opposite the church of Tilly, it was bought and saved from ruin in 1936 by François Delalande, his daughter still occupies it today. It is a beautiful Louis XIII-style residence, flanked by its two towers with an original domed roof, in a six-hectare park entirely surrounded by walls.

Saint-Nicolas Church of Maule

Highlight • Religious Site

Dedicated to Saint Nicolas, classified as a “historic monument” in 1883, it is a former 11th century abbey church in Romanesque style that has undergone many changes. Topped by a 36-meter-high tower built in the Renaissance, it has a blind triforium and a very beautiful Romanesque crypt.

Half buried under the church, the crypt - the largest in Yvelines - dates from the 11th century, is perfectly preserved and has been completely renovated.
