Saint-Germain Church of Morancez
Highlight • Religious Site
The furniture remains simple but not without interest with its benches enclosed in painted wood. However, it is worth mentioning a sculpted pulpit from the 18th century.
In 1707, the prior-parish priest of Morancez was Nicolas Courvoisier, religious of the Saint-Jean-en-Vallée abbey. A poet, he is notably the author of a Latin ode addressed to the people of Chartres on the death of Paul de Godet des Marais1. He died on May 14, 1742 in Morancez and was buried in the church. (his tombstone remains to be identified.)
Although Morancez was a modest parish, in 1851 it benefited from a prestigious gift from Jérôme Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, governor of Les Invalides, then in residence at the Château de Gourdez. He offered the church a painting, Moses makes water flow from the rock, painted by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli between 1657 and 1660. This Italian artist had been called to decorate the cabinet called "At the water's edge" of the apartment of Queen Anne of Austria at the Louvre. He created a decor, now dismembered, composed of a set of six paintings devoted to the story of Moses, including the work, classified as a Historic Monument, preserved in our church.
Another interesting work which could be attributed to the school of Philippe de Champaigne represents Jesus among the doctors. These two paintings benefited from a restoration in 1998

Château des Boulard
Highlight • Castle
The castle was bought in 2004 by the Boulard family who restored it. Since then, it is possible to rent it for seminars or weddings.
A 22-hectare park surrounds two guest rooms and is home to wallabies and some unusual animals.

Notre-Dame Church of Dammarie
Highlight • Religious Site
This building, much altered over the centuries, has suffered greatly from a lack of maintenance.
In 1747, Abbot Pilot, parish priest, mentioned the difficulties he had in having the choir, the sanctuary and the tower repaired by the Cathedral Chapter in charge of these works, the rest of the building being the responsibility of parish.
On the south wall, there are Roman-style freestone frames.
The large door as well as the side door are also. The other openings are in the Gothic style.
In 1840, the apse of the great Nave was destroyed in order to "pass" the road No. 14 from Chartres to Orgères into the interior of the village, rather than bypassing it.
If this church does not have a bell tower, since 1845, Hélène Augustine, a 522 kg bell, installed in the tower, calls parishioners during ceremonies.
