Saint Remy Church

Highlight • Other

The parish church of Saint-Remy de Vérigny, located in the current new commune of Mittainvilliers-Vérigny, has been documented in the archives since 1126 as being dependent on the abbey of Saint-Père in Chartres. Its construction probably followed shortly after this date, as evidenced by the use of grison for both the buttresses and the frames of certain bays and the large west portal with a grison roller. The proximity of the manor and then the castle of Vérigny, owned by the prestigious families of O and Vieuville until the early years of the 18th century, encouraged donations and legacies in favor of the parish church. It is to Charles II of O that we owe the construction of the north aisle as well as the family chapel in the right bay of the choir, on the north side. The ribbed vaults and the hanging keystones sculpted with little angels evoke the creations of the second quarter of the 16th century such as those of the church of Bérou-la-Mulotière.

Church of Saint Stephen

Highlight • Other

Composed of a Romanesque nave with flat buttresses placed symmetrically on each side (typical of the end of the 11th century or the first half of the 12th century), it was completely remodeled in the 16th century and the end of the 20th century. The bays of the nave are from the 15th century, in flamboyant Gothic style, as is the rose window. The span of the bell tower and the choir, with ribbed vaults, date from the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. As early as the 16th century, the bell tower had a clock, quite rare and expensive for the time. The pillars of the central bay are richly molded and crowned with thin bands of foliage serving as capitals. The windows are decorated with flamboyant tracery of varied designs. The Romanesque portal was also remodeled in the 16th century. The powerful central bell tower with buttresses [formerly had three bells named PIC DAN JON. There will only be one left after the Revolution, the other two having been melted down to make cannons and ammunition.

The Eure canal, also called the Louis XIV canal and the Maintenon canal, is an unfinished non-navigable canal1 built by Vauban to supply the royal domain of Versailles with water. Diverted near Pontgouin, not far from Chartres, the water from the Eure was to be transported to the Tour pond, not far from Rambouillet, to supply the royal domain of Versailles. With a planned length of nearly 80 km, its construction began in 1685 and was interrupted 3 years later by the War of the League of Augsburg. At the end of it, despite the work already done and the money spent, the site will never be resumed and the canal will remain unfinished.

At the instigation of the General Council at the time, a new drinking water borehole was carried out in 1996 along the RD 24 at the exit of the village towards Fontaine la Guyon, flow rate of around 100 m3 / hour, then allowing the supply. three other surrounding towns: Fontaine la Guyon, Mittainvilliers and Vérigny. A catchment protection perimeter encompassed 153 hectares of land (decree of July 31, 2000). A second storage basin of 800 m3 was built at the top of the forest for this occasion. These basins are called "tarpaulins".

In 2006, partial destruction of the old disused water tower and transformation of it into a technical room while retaining the base. Development by a landscaped fence around the edge. Indeed, the high masonry part covering the storage basin was starting to crumble and therefore became dangerous.
