Saint Nicholas Church

Highlight • Other

The construction of the original church of Sorel dates back to the 10th century. In 1113, this church was destroyed during the siege of the fortress of Sorel by the troops of Henry VIII of England coming from Normandy. Its identical reconstruction was unfortunately halted by a fire in 1134.
The current church was rebuilt starting in the 13th century, with the chevet completed in the 15th century, and the first two bays of the nave and the northern seigneurial chapel in the 16th century. The bell tower was built in the 17th century by blinding a window. The building is constructed of flint, lime, and white stone on a sandstone base. The upper part is made of Vernon stone.
The tiled roof is supported by a beautiful rafter frame whose tie beams are decorated with chimera heads, also called "howling devils." In the choir, the 19th-century altar recalls medieval sculptures. An interesting collection of stained-glass windows dating from 1850.
After extensive renovations, masses have been celebrated again since 2007.

Avre Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

The aqueduct of the Avre is one of the works that supplies the city of Paris with drinking water. Inaugurated in 1893, it transports 80 million liters per day from the Drouais in Eure-et-Loir. The Avre aqueduct is part of the complex drinking water supply system in the capital.

Saint-Martin Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The construction could date back to the beginning of the 12th century. The nave ends with a chancel with a four-sided apse. A bell tower outside the work is located against the west wall. A seigneurial chapel was built to the north of the chancel. The study of the framework has made it possible to determine several construction phases: 1117-1190, 1274, 1487-1520. The interior walls retain a painted historiated decoration on the back of the west portal, probably representing a dance of death, which could date back to the 1500s. The large funeral chapel built between 1577 and 1585 probably goes back to the architect Métezeau. Its decoration is representative of the end of Mannerism and the Henri IV style. The stained glass windows were restored by the master glassmaker Raphaël Lardeur and were installed in 1947. Lardeur also created the mosaic Stations of the Cross.
