Saint Martin's Church

Highlight • Other

The first mention of the existence of the Church of Saint-Martin de Nonancourt is a 12th-century charter, but the original building probably dates back to the 7th or 8th century. The bell tower that now occupies the middle of the façade dates from the reconstructions of 1204. During the Hundred Years' War, the church was largely destroyed, like many buildings in the region. The side aisles, nave, and choir were rebuilt in the 16th century. The Chapel of the Virgin, also known as the Chapel of the Rosary, was also added.

The Church of Saint-Martin contains numerous works of art, some of which are listed: neo-Gothic and Renaissance furnishings, including the centerpiece, the pulpit, a veritable wooden lacework; a variety of statuary, a 16th-century organ case and finally an enigmatic fresco discovered during recent works in 2001. The stained-glass windows of the church constitute a truly remarkable collection, both in terms of their number (26 in total) and their quality. The lower windows of the nave are the oldest pieces, dating from the 1500s, while the upper windows date from the 1520s and 1530s.

Nonancourt, historic center

Highlight • Other

Small town steeped in history which was fortified at the beginning of the 12th century before its neighbor Verneuil s/Avre. Because the Avre valley has long been a disputed border between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Normandy. Destroyed by the English in 1417, Nonancourt was not rebuilt until 1451. Most of the Saint Martin Church, as well as many half-timbered houses in the town center date from this period.
In the 19th century, this town was home to an important textile center with woolen and cotton mills powered by hydraulic power from the river.
From this historical past, the town has managed to preserve its town center with its typically Norman appearance and, in addition to the central square, you can discover several old houses as well as the remains of the old ramparts.

Ivry-la-Bataille

Highlight • Settlement

The church still houses the bell that rang Henry IV's victory in the 1590 battle between the royal army and the Catholic League.
An inscription on the chevet recalls that Saint-Martin was transformed into a temple of Reason during the French Revolution.

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.

The Donjon of Gilles

Highlight • Monument

Passing by here, you will undoubtedly be taken aback to see this dungeon erected in the heart of the valley in this small, solitary village, in a place that does not seem to make sense, and without any road leading to it. In truth, this dungeon is not historical. It is the work of a man, no doubt a bit of a dreamer, who started building this tower in 1968 from modern materials, breeze blocks and concrete blocks. It took him 50 years to complete this dungeon on his property in order, in his own words, to seek the light.
