From the beginning of the 12th century, the parish of La Chaussée was established. The Abbey of Saint Père holds this church with some 60 acres of land, meadows and a fief which consists of cens on some houses and inheritances. She owes these goods to the generosity of Drogon de Raizeux Outside the building, we can still see extensions, now fallen, emerging from the walls. It is undoubtedly an old tower or chapel whose foundations can still be seen on the ground during periods of drought. On the austere facade of the apse, lacking in roundness, two large bays once opened, now walled up. On the side opposite the sacristy, there is a medallion above a Renaissance door with the date 1739. According to the village elders, this is the place formerly occupied by a sundial that the rains have disappears over time. Today, the funeral liter of the lords of Saint Lucien is invisible. This liter consisted of a black band one meter wide which went around the walls and on which the deceased and his cupboards were painted. Mille Saint Just, lord of Saint Lucien, was buried in the church of Saint Lucien in 1652, in the choir, against the seat adjoining the step by which one ascends to the altar. The abbey of Saint Père-en-Vallée, formerly outside Chartres, was also built in the 12th century. It is independent of the diocese of Chartres.
