Saint John the Baptist Church

Highlight • Other

This 13th, 15th and 16th century church does not have a transept. It has a central shingled nave with aisles. The choir ends with a polygonal apse. The apse is decorated with glass roofs dating from 1541 representing various scenes from the Passion.

These 16th century stained glass windows (bays 1 to 4) have been partially classified as historic monuments since 1908. Bays 1 and 2 were restored in the 17th century thanks to the Bourbon-Conti family, lords of Bazoche-Gouet from 1676 in 1719, the 4 in the 19th century, then in 1974, by Michel Petit, master glassmaker whose workshop is located in Thivars in Eure-et-Loir.

Outside the choir, the stained glass windows are from the 19th century, made by two renowned master glassmakers, the Lorin workshops in Chartres and the Carmel stained glass factory in Le Mans, the first in a neo-Romanesque style, the second approaching the neo-Romanesque style. Gothic.

Château de Charbonnières

Highlight • Castle

The castle was built on the foundations of a medieval building in the 16th century. It belonged to Jean d'Youville, lord of Charbonnières, in 1557. The castle was enlarged in the 18th century and, in the 19th century, Count Auguste de Chamoy (Count of Chamois), inspired by troubadour architecture, gave it his style Neo-gothic. In 2012, the castle was put up for sale for nine million dollars but did not sell. In October 2017, the castle was sold at auction, without reserve, by Concierge Auctions. Expected for five million euros, it was sold to a foreign buyer for more than 1.2 million euros.
