This square is really nice with the church, the cobbled square and the hall without forgetting the castle

Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre Church of Dourdan

Highlight • Religious Site

A Catholic parish church dedicated to Saint Germain of Auxerre, positioned in the town center facing the castle on Place du Général-de-Gaulle. Construction began in 1150 under the canons of Saint-Chéron and was completed in the 12th century, though the building endured significant damage during the Hundred Years' War and Wars of Religion before being restored.

The church has been classified as a historical monument since 1967 and measures fifty meters in length with its north spire reaching fifty meters in height.

Château de Dourdan

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Dourdan is an old fortified castle dating from the 13th century. The remains stand in the former province of Hurepoix, the current town of Dourdan in the department of Essonne, forty-six kilometers south-west of Paris.

Completed around 1222 by Philippe Auguste, this castle succeeded a wooden building dating from Hugues Capet. The plan is regular with a wide moat, round towers, a defensive gatehouse, a vast central courtyard bordered by the royal residence and a chapel. Dourdan is one of the only fortresses in the Ile-de-France region that has retained most of its structures: keep, towers, dry ditches...

Dourdan Market Hall...

Highlight • Other

Its dimensions are impressive: 38 meters long and 14 meters wide!

The first hall of Dourdan built in the 13th century consisted of a vast wooden frame. It was enlarged in 1480 and 1486. Until the 18th century, a royal audience stood upstairs where civil, judicial, feudal and forest offenses were judged. Due to its dilapidation, it was decided in 1829 to demolish the hall and build a new one, the one you see today.
