AeroGrail By Chris 🇨🇵 🏔
August 7, 2025, Église Saint Pierre

The church consists of a single nave, extended by a single-bay choir, and a semicircular apse. Two canted chapels, forming a false transept, were added during this renovation. The church is dominated by a timber-framed bell tower that rises above the first bay of the nave. The gable of the western facade was rebuilt in the last century, an external wooden porch removed. The central axis of the current facade is punctuated by a semicircular door surmounted by an archivolt, a circular opening on the first level and a small window pierced in the upper part of the gable. On the north side, a highly raised stringcourse forming a cornice, resting on simple modillions, still survives in the upper part of the wall. Additional openings were added to the old, narrow, and uneven openings in the last century, in the nave, as well as in the choir and apse, to allow more daylight to enter the building. The interior of the church is covered with a paneled roof structure: the one covering the nave is believed to date from the 16th century. The entire structure has been given a coherent decoration, from the faux-stone plasterwork to the paneled vault, the furnishings, and the statuary. The church also boasts a 17th-century polychrome wooden statue of Saint Barbara. The Prunelé coat of arms appears at the bottom of the stained-glass window of Saint Louis and, outside, on a medallion on the apse wall. The Sauvegarde de l'Art Français (French National Art Protection Agency) granted €5,000 in grants in 2004 for masonry and roof repairs and the installation of drainage.

Saint-Pierre Church dates back to the 14th century. It is located in Nottonville itself, opposite the town hall. Its 17th-century timber-framed bell tower was restored following the 1999 storm.

The Saint-André church burned down in the middle of the 19th century. The priest, forced to celebrate mass in a barn, opened a subscription in 1864, the church was rebuilt in 1865, according to the original plan, plus a transept. Bell tower-porch.

The Sainte Christine church represents a heritage of the rural and religious world characteristic of Beauce, the "breadbasket" of France since the Middle Ages. The Romanesque nave dates from the 12th century and was given a bell tower in the 18th century. The spire then peaked at 28 meters high, visible from afar from the surrounding countryside. In 1835, a hurricane damaged the roof of the bell tower. In 1893, lightning ignited the spire which burned almost entirely. The traces are still visible today. It would take almost 25 years for the church to regain its bell tower, reduced by half to 17 meters in height. The heritage to be restored is in line with the many religious buildings in this area such as the Saint Sébastien church in Baignolet, listed as a Historic Monument.

Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Church is a Romanesque building that underwent some modifications following the partial destruction of the village during the war of 1870. The oriented nave ends with a semi-circular apse and adjoins, to the north, a side aisle. Access is located in the southwest part of the nave, protected by a long canopy. A sacristy was built outside the work and communicates directly, to the south, with the apse. The aisle opens onto the nave by two large arcades. At the entrance to the choir, stand two columns with primitive capitals intended to receive an arch that was probably never built. The nave and the choir are covered with a paneled vault. Two pointed arch bays light the nave to the south. The windows of the apse and the aisle are semicircular. The west gable also includes a semicircular bay. On this side of the church, the arch of the old portal, now walled up, is still visible. An oculus has been pierced in its upper part. The roof is made of slate, as is the bell tower, erected on the western part of the roof. Inside, the decor is especially remarkable for the wall paintings from the 12th and 13th centuries that were discovered in 1939, behind the altarpiece of the sanctuary, by Father Moriceau, the parish priest. Some of them are illegible, others have been perfectly identified. These are the scenes depicting the Descent from the Cross, the Holy Women at the Tomb, the Baptism of Christ, and the Meal at Herod's. Like those in the church of Lutz-en-Dunois and the chapel of Yron in Cloyes, these wall paintings are characteristic of the artistic creation of the upper Loir Valley in the Romanesque period. For the restoration of the plaster and the renovation of the south facade of the church and the porch, the Sauvegarde de l’Art français granted a subsidy of 35,000 F in 1998.

The Saint-Martin church dates from the 11th century. It was ravaged and burned by the Protestants, then restored at the end of the 16th century. It still retains remains of the Romanesque style, particularly in the nave which was rebuilt on the same plan, with stones and other debris from the fire.

After an unrealized project by the architect Plisson in 1861, church built in 1866, based on plans by Ricard, diocesan architect; with reuse of the previous 13th century building (bell tower)

The Moulin de Lignerolles is one of the last pivotal windmills in the Loiret department. Built in 1848, this wooden mill belonged to Louis-Joseph Soulas, famous painter and director of the Orléans School of Fine Arts. You can admire the restored mill and its ingenious mechanism, as well as the panoramic view of the plain. The mill is open to the public on Sundays from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., and also hosts various events throughout the year, such as a flea market, concerts and exhibitions. Visiting the Moulin de Lignerolles is an excellent way to discover the heritage and charm of the Beauceron countryside.
