Saint-Martin Church of Brunelles
Highlight • Religious Site
The nave is lit on each side by three flamboyant-style windows, and in the choir you can admire the beautiful stone altarpiece that has recently been restored. You will also notice an oculus on the south face, found during the 1998 restoration campaign, and enriched with a recent stained glass window illustrating the Creation.
Finally, visitors should not fail to stop by the relics of the young Alexander, tortured for refusing to renounce his faith in Christ, as were other saints called martyrs for this, from the Greek "witnesses". There are thus many relics in our churches: they can be found at the first origin of basilicas, often built on ancient funerary areas on the outskirts of ancient cities. The relics of the saints are to be considered as the very humble signs of what their bodies were, the evocation of their human condition: it is with their bodies that the saints acted, thought, prayed, worked, suffered and experienced death. The monastery of the Val d’Arcisses was the first foundation of the monk Bernard d’Abbeville, later called Bernard de Thiron, because the monks of St.-Denis de Nogent-le-Rotrou would not let him do it! Bernard had to settle nearby, in the parish of Gardais, under the protection of the bishop of Chartres, Saint Yves and de Rotrou, Count of Perche. He had been established in a manor located between Brunelles and Ozée. The Notre-Dame-du-Val-d’Arcisses abbey welcomed Benedictine nuns during the 17th and 18th centuries. Destroyed during the Revolution, all that remains is the gatehouse, a beautiful arch embedded in a façade. One of the monks' major works was to dig the Arcisses canal, a diversion from the Cloche: it irrigated the abbey's lands and supplied the fountain which flowed near the Notre-Dame church in Nogent-le-Rotrou.

Notre-Dame Church, Nogent-le-Rotrou
Highlight • Religious Site
Originally the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu, built in 1182, it was then placed under the name of Saint-Jacques and only became a parish church after the Revolution, after the destruction in 1798 of the Notre-Dame church. des Marais from which it will take its name.
The church does not have a bell tower, the monks of the Saint-Denis abbey of Nogent-le-Rotrou not wanting a new bell tower to exceed theirs. The collaterals were added in the 14th and 15th centuries.
It has been classified as a historic monument since 1907 for its nave and in 1949 for the funeral chapel of Sully.
